In my last post I discussed some general impressions of the 2016 CES (Consumer Electronics Show) and I promised more about the many, many drones that were on display. Obviously drones are becoming a bigger and bigger part of video production and any videographer or...
After attending the NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) show for a few years I naively believed NAB had to be about as big a show as there could be. My first trip to the CES (Consumer Electronics Show) quickly demonstrated that I was wrong, and in a huge way....
Our first patent, covering the construction of our larger parabolic microphones, was issued this week.
The Broadcast Bridge ran a nice article on the KLOVER MiK parabolic mics this week. It gives a good overview of our history and some of our recent applications.
Any time that you mount an accessory to your camera’s flash shoe there is the potential for your camera to be damaged if that accessory takes a hard hit or if the camera is dropped with the accessory still attached. We have included a break-away joint into the design...
We recently received some sample videos from one of our customers and we wanted to share them with the world. They both show the excelent audio recording of a human voice that the small parabolic microphone .
Most modern cameras, and recorders, provide a stereo microphone jack (a left channel and a right channel) but most microphones come with a mono (single channel) connector.

Dan Weecks reviews the strengths and weaknesses of the Sound Shark in his new review video. Dan operates Weecks Productions in the Phoenix area and produces The Talk Around Town Show, a weekly technology, lifestyle, & entertainment show. He was one of the first...
There are so many variables that it is very difficult to answer this question. However, we have recorded voices from 50 feet away in quiet situations. Obviously, the audio was not as strong as if the speaker had been wearing a lapel microphone on their body but it was...
I had the opportunity this past week to borrow a Lumix GH3 from Will Crockett and I have to say I am quite impressed. The still and video are excellent. Of course, I had to test the audio quality as well. I repeated the same test that I had completed with my Canon 5D3...
We have seen a lot of video and reviews related to using a mixer for bringing audio into cameras. The general idea is that you will have better audio if you amplify the electrical signal from the microphone before it goes into the camera. It seems that the amplifiers...
We now have a short video on our Setup page that shows how simple it is to install your microphone into the Sound Shark. Take a moment to click on the thumbnail and watch the video right now. Pay attention to the sound quality. It was recorded with a Sound Shark from...
How does the Sound Shark handle keeping up with a souvenir photography businesses in one of America’s most popular destinations in downtown Chicago? FANTASTIC! This video shows the set up used everyday in the Skydeck. The reason that Sound Shark won over the...
