Four HGM-2 microphones help you capture more courtroom and deposition room audio by placing pickup closer to the people speaking. Quiet witnesses, low-speaking attorneys, soft answers, side comments, people turned away from the recorder, and voices across the table are exactly why one microphone in one spot may not be enough.
This package gives you four professional HGM-2 pickup points, so you can place microphones closer to the judge, witness, attorneys, deposition table, or the parts of the room where voices are hardest to capture.
But if the witness is quiet, an attorney turns away, someone speaks from across the room, or a side comment happens away from the recorder, one microphone may not be enough.
Place microphones around the room to help capture soft answers, low voices, people speaking away from the recorder, and the voices you cannot afford to miss during review.
Courtrooms and deposition rooms are full of voices that are easy to miss. This system is designed to help you capture more of the room by spreading four HGM-2 microphones around the people speaking.
Every room is different, but the idea is simple: do not make one recorder or one microphone carry the entire room. Spread the four HGM-2 microphones around the room so important voices are closer to a pickup point.
