VIVE Surround Sound Microphone

VIVE Surround Sound MicrophoneFeatures and pros:

1) This is an excellent surround sound microphone with inbuilt Dolby Prologic encoder.

2) The microphone houses four electret mics and powered by a button cell.

3) The whole system is very tiny and sits on top of your video camera in Camera Hot Shoe mount.

4) The Mic hot shoe mount also has an inbuilt shock mount.

5) The encoded audio output is available through a stereo headphone jack which you connect to your camera aux. or mic. in to record in your camera just like any other external microphone. Apparently this may look like a normal stereo sound signal, but it is actually a Dolby Prologic encoded audio where multiple channel data in encoded as phase shift audio. When you play back the sound through your surround sound system, it decodes dolby Prologic and you get surround sound output.

6) The sound quality is excellent and there is very little noise in the mic. circuit.

Cons: The construction is very light and fragile, so careful handling is required.

No wind screen is available yet.

Recommended: Yes, this is an excellent mic. for its capabilities and price.
