YKN
Directional
Microphone for professionals
The YKN is a revolutionary new device
for capturing and recording sound under a wide variety
of conditions. Professional quality technical performance,
including broad frequency response, high sensitivity,
and crystal clear audio output, is combined with compact
dimensions and light weight to provide an audio device
that is unique in the industry.
The microphone has very selective
directionality. We use the term hyper-cardioid to
describe the directional characteristics of the unit.
Precision engineered to the latest technical specifications
and using the state of the art electronic components,
the YKN allows you to listen to sounds at a distance
up to 300 feet (100 meters). Selective Resonation Design,
an exclusive DSAS feature, captures and delivers the
sounds emanating from the subject under observation
while rejecting sound from outside the selected area. |

Directional Antennae allows the DSAS to
reduce background and wind noise without the need for a bulky
parabolic dish. The sound receiver is removable (de mountable).
The electrical power for the DSAS is provided by a commonly
available 3-volt lithium battery, which will deliver up to
300 hours of operation before replacement is required. Audio
output level is adjusted by digital push buttons.
The DSAS can be tripod mounted or easily
attached to camcorders, binoculars, spotting scopes and night
vision devices. It incorporates a special ? inch pullout
junction that allows the
unit to be attached to optical devices.
The DSAS extends the capabilities of any optical device -
you can not only observe an object but also listen to sound
emanating from it. Recording devices can be attached via
a standard audio jack.
The unit comes completely equipped
with headset, batteries, user's manual and a padded corduroy
carrying case.
The professional qualities of the DSAS allows
it to be employed by sound engineers and journalists while
its low cost and small size makes it attractive for very
wide variety of users - search and rescue services, security
personnel, ornithologists and nature-lovers.
