FlashMic Features

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  Layer ) 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  Layer  compression) digital
audio recordings as .wav files.
• Recording time up to 8hrs (file format and sample rate dependent).
• Built-in headphone amplifier for monitoring, with adjustable level.

• Markers (cue points) can be added to recordings in both Record and
