Because of this new, exciting,
technology, the Voice Grabber offers you the opportunity for vast
improvement in the quality of recordings. Voice Grabber will pickup
sounds at distances you never thought possible and it will pick them up with
clarity that other microphones don't have because of the limitations of their
construction. Compared to the Sound grabber the Voice Grabber is designed
with a battery box for on/off switching to save battery life.
The Voice Grabber is a microphone designed around a
new method of picking up sound waves. The design is based on the Pressure
Recording Process, discovered by Long and Wickersham, in which sound waves
reinforce themselves in the area nearest a flat surface, usually called the
boundary. The Voice Grabber does not need to follow the action, since it
has a wide-angle pickup pattern. So long as the mic "sees" the sound, in
whatever direction it will pickup clearly. Ideal
for applications such as conferences, group discussions, interviews, home video
production, lectures, and recordings. The mic can be placed on a large surface
such as a table, floor, wall, or lectern.
The omni directional boundary microphone is designed for
applications where an unobtrusive high performing microphone is needed. Its
sleek design and rugged construction make it easy to set up in almost any
location such as on the floor, on a table or lectern, on wall or ceiling. Its
omni directional pickup pattern picks up sound equally from all directions
within the space above and around the microphone, making it ideal and highly
useful in surface-mounted applications involving professional recording and high
quality sound reinforcement for conferences, stages productions, choral
ensembles and other demanding sound pickup situations.
The microphone comes with a power switch control box which
requires a 1.5V D.C. LR44 battery for operation. It also features an ON/STBY/OFF
switch for convenient control of the microphone.
NOTE: This microphone is not
for use with desktop or laptop computers!
