Free Space XLR

Common name: 3Dio Free Space XLR

Production Status: In production

The 3Dio Free Space XLR is an omnidirectional binaural microphone. It uses high sensitivity matched capsules and is powered by 48V Phantom Power via a microphone preamplifier, digital recorder or mixing console. It can also be powered by a 9V alkaline battery housed inside the chassis. The capsules frequency response rolls off slightly above 10kHz. This is excellent for recording instruments with loud high frequencies like drum cymbals or strummed acoustic guitars. It also prevents any harsh effects that are sometimes associated with binaural recordings using smaller capsules.  The Free Space XLR comes standard with a 5/8″ microphone stand adapter installed in the base. The microphone stand adapter is removable. The base of the microphone has a 1/4″-20 female thread mounting hole that can be connected to a hot-shoe adapter or used to mount directly onto a tripod or grip handle. The microphone includes an 8″ long 3.5 mm stereo TRS cable and prosthetic silicone ears.
