The HHB FlashMic is the world’s first professional digital recording microphone. Combining a high-quality,
Sennheiser omni-directional condenser capsule with an inbuilt, broadcast-quality Flash recorder, FlashMic is a
convenient, easy to operate and durable recorder that’s perfect for press and broadcast journalism, or any
other voice recording application.
With no messy cables, just one button press is all it takes to start recording in either linear or MPEG 2
formats. Simple ‘drag and drop’ file transfer at up to 90x real time to a Mac or PC for editing or onward
transmission is enabled by a ‘plug and play’ USB connection. Two AA batteries provide more than 6 hours
continuous power and, with a 0 - 10 seconds pre-record buffer and 1GB of flash memory, you can be sure
that you’ll never miss a word of that important interview with a FlashMic.
