The Holophone Breakthrough
The H-4 SuperMINI is based on the patented Holophone Surround
technology that has revolutionized the capture of surround sound.
Instead of using separate microphones to capture the multiple
inputs required for surround sound, the Holophone system mounts
the required microphone elements on a single “Head” – a spheroid
that approximates the physical shape of the human head.
The placement of these elements captures the variations that the
human mind uses to locate the source of sounds. The result is an
extremely accurate reproduction of the ambiance of the venue
being recorded, combined with great ease of use.
Until now, the breakthrough Holophone approach has been
available in two implementations:
• Holophone H2-PRO
The senior member of the Holophone family, the H2-PRO
has 7 microphone elements mounted on the surface of the
Head and one in the interior to capture low frequency
effects (LFE). It supports all consumer audio formats,
including IMAX, Dolby Digital EX, DTS ES, Circle
Surround II (CS II), Dolby Digital, Dolby ProLogic II,
DTS, Circle Surround, AAC, WMA, SDDS and Dolby
Stereo.
• Holophone H3-D
The H3-D, with 5 microphone elements mounted on its
surface and one LFE mic in the interior, provides an
economical solution for those standards that do not require
the additional mic elements. These include Dolby Digital,
Dolby ProLogic II, DTS, Circle Surround, AAC, WMA
and Dolby Stereo.
The Holophone H4 SuperMINI
Holophone H4 SuperMINI is a further advance in the Holophone
technology, designed principally for use by videographers
requiring an integrated video and sound package. The unit is small
enough to be mounted on top of a video camera.
