SIDEWINDER-6
HOLOPHONE
The SideWinder-6 terminated mic snake replaces the head on the H4 SuperMINI. Connected to an H2-Pro or H3-D, the SideWinder-6 uses the H4's matrix encoder. The resulting stereo signal can be transmitted through the broadcast infrastructure. Run through any home theater receiver using a Dolby Pro Logic II-compatible decoder, the signal is instantly decoded into six discrete channels. When no home-theater decoder is present, the signal will be output in traditional stereo. NAB booth: N6034.
