Your FlashMic combines a professional-quality, omni-directional condenser
microphone with an internal digital audio recorder in a single self-contained, self-
powered unit. An extremely simple set of controls make it suitable for completely
non-technical users; alternatively, more experienced recordists can access a wide
range of additional functionality through menu-based pages on the FlashMic’s LCD
display.
Retrieval of recordings is via the FlashMic’s USB port; the stored sound files are
transferred to a computer as .wav files in either linear or compressed (MPEG 2 Layer
1) formats. Transfer is either by using the supplied FlashMic Manager software, or
by standard drag-and-drop file handling.
Think of your FlashMic as the audio equivalent of a digital camera. Just as you use
a digital camera to quickly and conveniently record high-quality visual images for
subsequent transfer to a computer, so you can use FlashMic to capture sound. Just
as pictures can be subsequently edited, stored, e-mailed, deleted, or whatever – so
you can now manipulate recorded audio in the same ways.
The FlashMic is ideal for use by journalists and reporters for news-gathering and
interviews, by business organisations, public institutions – any situation where a
quick and convenient method of voice recording is required.
Some of the main features of the FlashMic are as follows:
Linear or compressed (using MPEG 1 Layer 2 compression) digital
audio recordings as .wav files.
