LAS VEGAS (NAB Booth #C11001) April 19, 2009 – Sony’s new F-115B omni-directional dynamic microphone offers professional users a reliable sound-gathering tool for use in extreme climates and challenging environmental conditions.

            “Motion picture, TV, ENG, radio and documentary-makers will depend on this robust microphone in adverse weather conditions including heavy rain and strong wind,” said Paul Foschino, senior marketing manager for professional audio at Sony Electronics. “Its high-quality construction makes the F-115B ideal for a range of diverse applications in the field.”

            The new microphone is equipped with a water-shedding, double-layered wind screen. A rugged metal body and a resilient rubber pad at its core are designed to reduce shocks and vibrations.

            Additionally, a new omni-directional capsule enables the F-115B microphone to capture clear sound within a 360-degree recording radius. A water-resistant cable also connects directly to the unit to limit deterioration of its internal parts.

            The Sony F-115B omni-directional dynamic microphone is available now, with a suggested list price of $1,100.
