SoundField's unique technology is now available in a miniaturized package
powered by A/C or batteries as the new portable ST350 microphone
system.
The ST350 is comprised of a lightweight multi-capsule microphone and fully
featured compact mic-pre/control unit that generates surround and stereo
simultaneously at balanced line levels.
The ST350 has been designed from the ground up and is the result of a
comprehensive R&D program incorporating feedback from recordists,
broadcasters and SoundField users. The new microphone electronics are
capable of driving long cable runs, enabling the microphone to be positioned
hundreds of yards away from its control unit or alternatively handheld on a
short boom.
Control features include high-performance mic pres with discretely switched
6dB gain steps and composite five-segment LED bargraph for level monitoring.
Continuously variable control is offered over the stereo polar patterns from
omni through to cardioid to figure-of-eight with a width control providing
everything from mono to wide image stereo. End fire and invert controls are
provided to correct for three-dimensional microphone positioning while still
maintaining the correct stereo and surround perspective. Other features
include hi-pass filtering to reduce rumble and wind noise, switchable M/S
output and headphone monitoring.
The ST350 can be used in conjunction with the SoundField Surround Zone
software to offer a complete recording and post-production package. Surround
Zone is now available on the Digidesign Pro Tools, Steinberg Nuendo and
SADiE platforms.
MSRP: $5,900
