Holophone Portamic 5.1 Black

Fully tested and works beautifully! Comes 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable, 3.5mm to dual XLR, and Rycote Windjammer.

The Holophone PortaMic 5.1 Surround Microphone provides prosumer video camera users with a simple, yet professional means of capturing audio in true 5.1 surround sound. The PortaMic 5.1 operates on a 9V battery and features an elliptical shape that mimics the acoustic properties of human hearing.

Six individual microphone capsules effectively capture left-front, right-front, center, left-rear, right-rear, and sub channels. A built-in Dolby ProLogic II encoder automatically encodes discrete audio for stereo output using the included cables. Audio can be decoded back to discrete 5.1 channels in post-production using Holophone D-Code or any Dolby ProLogic II decoder.

A 12dB pad switch maximizes headroom and minimizes noise and peak distortion when capturing transient-rich and excessively loud audio signals. The microphone is built for quick, plug-and-play operation and its built-in camera shoe and low-profile design provide exactly the right combination of familiarity and ease of use expected by professional and consumer camera operators alike.
