Zoom Microphone
A type of microphone system consisting of three cardioid microphone elements and a special phase correction equalization circuit. By varying the position of a control knob, the microphone outputs are combined in such a way that the directivity of the array changes from omnidirectional through cardioid to super-cardioid. These are sometimes used in film (or video) making because the control can be synchronized with the control of a zoom lens on a camera so that the auditory perspective changes with the visual perspective.

Our Customers Say...

I can talk to my Sales Engineer about any piece of equipment, and he always steers me in the right direction. He truly knows what he's talking about, and he never tries to over-sell me on anything. If he worked in the Nashville area, I'd probably owe him about 20 dinners by now!
