Dotterel Technologies Konos Microphone Array

Dotterel Technologies Konos Microphone Array

The Dotterel Technologies Konos Microphone System is a compact 80-element high-fidelity, high-sensitivity mic array with adjustable directivity and optional real-time noise filtering to capture the clearest sound at a distance, even in the most challenging sonic conditions. In comparison with other high-end directional shotgun microphones, Konos maintains negligible side and rear lobes through a very wide range of frequencies, over long distances, inside and outside, and with impressive noise-handling tolerance.

Konos is perfect for use on the street, in the theatre, at an event, out in nature, up in the air, and in locations previously considered too noisy, windy, or expensive to set up and record in. Multiple virtual microphones capture target and ambient audio simultaneously to make mixing and post-production editing easier.

EFFORTLESSLY ADAPTS TO ANY SITUATION

Unique to Konos and a world-first, use built-in adjustable directivity to switch between extremely narrow or wide pickup angles. Record a lively sound with a flat response and a natural bottom end every time with one mic. Eliminate off-axis noise in real-time with low impact on fidelity, using the optional noise filtering of the revolutionary Konos processor. Sharp off-axis rejection and significantly reduced side and rear lobes keep your beam tight through a very wide range of frequencies, over long distances, inside and outside, and with impressive noise-handling tolerance.

THREE EXCEPTIONAL PICK-UP PATTERNS:

• NARROW BEAM (60°) - REALLY FOCUS IN ON A SUBJECT: The Narrow Beam setting allows you to really focus in on a subject. Think of this as your hyper cardioid microphone setting. This setting is particularly useful when trying to capture audio from a source that is far away.
• MID BEAM (100°) - ENABLING A WIDER CAPTURE: The Mid Beam enables a wider capture pattern which is typical of other cardioid type microphones. This setting is useful when you want to hear more of the room.
• WIDE BEAM (180°) - CAPTURING A FULL 180°: The Wide Beam captures a full 180° in front of the microphone. This setting gives you the freedom to capture a very wide setting. Useful both indoors and outdoors.
