Actual item for sale

Used, in good cosmetic condition and fully working. A aftermarket new foam wind screen and mini USB interconnection cable are included. This is the cardioid version of the FlashMic. The internal memory is about 1GB which is a lot of recording time, even for uncompressed audio. The manual and control application may be found here https://www.prostudioconnection.net/2201/HHB_Flash_Mic.zip In my testing I was able to run the control program under Windows 10 64 Bit and configure the mic and download test recordings to my PC. The mic can be powered with either alkaline cells (as tested, not included) or NiMH rechargeable cells. The photos show the actual item for sale. I tested with a USB 2.0 port. It should work equally well on a USB 3.0 port assuming that the port is fully backwards compatible. Note that some inventory control numbers have been engraved on the base of the case - see photo.

Description

The HHB FlashMic DRM85 is an ingenious solution for the field journalist or sample-gathering musician, that is essentially an omnidirectional condenser microphone with a built-in 1GB flash memory recorder, powered by 2 AA batteries.

The FlashMic DRM85 audio, recorded as Linear PCM or MPEG 1 Layer 2 data, is written to memory in either the BWF uncompressed or .mp2 compressed file formats. A total of 18 hrs. of recording time is available in the low-res compressed format.

The FlashMic DRM85 is further equipped with a small, clear LCD, and a 1.1 or 2.0 compliant mini-USB port, enabling quick and simplified data transfer to a computer for editing and consolidation. A headphone output with a dedicated volume control is available as well.
