Holophone to release new Pro mic at NAB

Holophone, a division of Rising Sun Productions, is to launch its first commercial product, The Holophone H2-PRO Surround Sound Microphone, next month at NAB.
The H2-PRO Surround Sound Microphone improves upon Holophone’s beta system with a sleek new design that maintains the patented ‘head’ shape, adds eight channel recording capability (5.1-channels plus a top channel and a centre-rear channel), and has an improved connector and handle.
The easy to use Holophone H2-PRO is a stand-alone Surround Sound microphone designed specifically for audio professionals to capture up to eight channels of discrete Surround Sound. It features eight XLR microphone connectors, entirely compatible with all multichannel I/O devices such as hard disc recorders, preamplifiers, and mixing boards that supply phantom power.
Priced at $6000, the Holophone H2-PRO will begin shipping by July of this year.
