FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 23rd, 2014 Sydney, NSW Australia Que Audio Announces and Ships the iQ-rig Phone Accessory Microphone Kit and 210 Hybrid Sniper Shotgun Microphone Kit Que Audio announces and ships the iQ-rig Phone Accessory Microphone Kit. The iQ-rig was made specifically for those needing an all in one solution for better audio and smoother hand-held video on the iPhone, Android, Windows Smartphones, or other compatible cell phones. “The new smartphones deliver astounding video quality and value by todays standards.” states Paul Heaton, Managing Director, Que Audio. “We’ve heard from many using iPhones globally for ENG newsgathering, that they need better audio than the iPhone’s built-in mic can deliver. The iQ-rig which includes the Q Mini Shotgun is the perfect solution.” The 210 Hybrid Shotgun Microphone is like having two different types of shotgun mics in one kit. And with the addition of the SNIPER version’s location sound accessories, travel-friendly booming has never been easier” adds Mark Ludmer, CEO – Que Audio USA. “It was important for us to achieve the ultimate in lightweight flexibility to meet the extreme challenges that face today’s video producers. Being a modular system also paves the way for more new barrels coming, like Omni, and Hyper cardioid. More great mic accessories are also on the way, like our new iPhone and iPad mic adapter cable which sports a headphone jack, bringing a new level of pro quality features to iPhone and iPad audio and video apps.” The new 210 Hybrid SNIPER Shotgun Microphone Kit (as well as the 210 Hybrid Shotgun Mic Kit released in Nov. 2013) revolve around a purpose built super-cardioid 21mm screw-on shotgun barrel (210H), which houses a new full bandwidth, low-noise, condenser capsule. Two separate screw-on power supply units for pro XLR or Q compact connection (3.5mm) are included for coupling with the 210H shotgun barrel. These and all of the essential accessories are delivered in a lightweight and compact, travel friendly leatherette case. The Compact Power Supply (210H-CPS) features a three-way selector switch for 0dB, +10dB, and +20db gain stage settings to maximize audio quality with DSLR cameras. The 210H-CPS employs Que Audio’s Que Audio Unit 26, 43 – 51 College Street Gladesville Sydney NSW 2111 Phone: 61 (02) 9879 0800 Fax: +61 (02) 9879 0899 Email:[email protected] 210 Hybrid Super-Cardioid Screw-On Barrel (Q210H) XLR Power Supply (Q210H-XLR) Compact Power Supply (Q210H-CPS) Que Audio USA 2355 Westwood Blvd. #202 Los Angeles CA 90064 Phone: 424.465.9577 Email: [email protected]
