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.
