DRM85LI,
DRM85-CLI
FlashMic family expands
with new line input
equipped models
 Following the recent expansion of the
FlashMic Digital Recording Microphone range
with the launch of the cardioid DRM85-C,
HHB now announces two new FlashMics –
the line input equipped DRM85LI and
DRM85-CLI.
Developed in direct response to requests
from broadcasters, the new models are line
input equipped versions of the existing
DRM85 omni-directional and DRM85-C
cardioid FlashMics, enabling journalists to
record the feeds often provided at press
conferences.
Both new FlashMics feature a bantam TT jack input on the base of the  microphone
body. An XLR to bantam jack cable is
supplied which, when connected, switches
out the microphone signal, recording only
the line input signal. Journalists enjoy the
flexibility of being able to record a press
conference feed, then switch quickly to
recording interviews or adding their own
commentary to the piece.
MP3
COMPATIBILITY
New FlashMic Manager
software release enables
mp3 file production
Another important FlashMic development
implemented in response to customer
feedback is compatibility with mp3 files.
FlashMic PCM or mp2 recordings can now
be converted by the supplied FlashMic
Manager Mac/PC software application to
provide mp3 files – the preferred workflow
format for some broadcasters.
Existing FlashMic owners can download the
updated FlashMic Manager software free of
charge at www.flashmic.info.
