Press release
Sennheiser Electronics Corporation is now shipping the new HHB PORTADRIVE at
Winter NAMM 2004.
Developed in close association with leading sound recordists, the PORTADRIVE
is a fully equipped portable multi-channel recorder that sets new standards
for location audio acquisition in a number of important areas.
The PORTADRIVE records over four hours of uncompressed eight-channel
24-bit/96kHz or over twenty hours of four-channel 24-bit/48khz audio onto a
resilient
and removable 40GB hard disk, the only storage device type with a proven
track-record in reliable mobile acquisition. An extensive range of input and
output
connectivity avoids the requirement for non-standard, expensive signal
cables and includes eight line inputs, four line outputs, eight channels of
digital
I/O and six high gain, very low noise XLR microphone inputs. All mic inputs
feature individual phantom powering, gangable limiters, input pads, a high
pass filter, adjustable delay (essential when working with radio mics) and
phase reverse, empowering PORTADRIVE production mixers to capture pristine
sound
from multiple microphone sources while on the move.
In recent years, there has been a gradual rise in the use of digital,
non-linear, file-based systems in the workflow methods evolving in the film,
TV and
music production and post-production industries. The PORTADRIVE has been
designed from the outset to present an acquisition system that further
enhances
the flow and efficiency of the original location audio through the workflow
chain.
