Zaxcom Now Shipping Its ZFR800 Digital Handheld Recording Microphone
POMPTON PLAINS, N.J. — March 26, 2007 — Zaxcom, a pioneering provider of professional audio equipment for the television and film industries, today announced that it is now shipping the ZFR800 handheld digital recording microphone, a system optimized for use in radio interviews, broadcast journalism, podcasting and any voice-recording application that requires mobility and superior sound quality.
The ZFR800 records up to 8 hours of uncompressed audio on a removable 2-GB memory card. An integrated timecode receiver allows users to jam timecode and sync multiple ZFR800 units remotely. Featuring a professional look and feel, the ZFR800 provides an ergonomic, camouflaged control pad for easy one-handed control of all record functions. It can be used with any Shure® screw-on capsule, giving users their preferred sonic quality.
With Zaxcom’s fault-tolerant operating system, audio files are always recorded without compression to minimize the opportunity for errors. Once in the audio control room, operators use the included ZaxConvert software to select the desired audio file format and resolution — often .wav files in 16- or 24-bit resolution with a sampling-rate of 32, 44.1, 48 or 48.048 kHz. Alternatively, users can opt to compress the audio into MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3) files, which are compressed for quick Internet-based delivery to transcription houses.
“We’re very pleased to be shipping our ZFR800 system and to better meet the needs of today’s audio professional,” said Glenn Sanders, President of Zaxcom. “The response from our customers so far has been phenomenal, and we’re looking forward to introducing this system to new users in the radio, television and presentation industries, as well.”
