Sound Shark News

Using an external microphone will greatly improve the audio recorded with a smartphone or tablet. These devices face the same challenges that most DSLR camera’s face. First, there is just not enough physical space for a larger microphone and second, the primary...

We recently found ourselves in a difficult situation. We had sent a Sound Shark to a writer in Canada for him to review. Unfortunately, problems with tariffs and taxes stranded the demo unit in Canada. If no one was willing to pay the outrageous fees, we were told the Sound Shark would be discarded.

Over the last few years we have had several requests for a black version of the Sound Shark. The requests have just not been frequent enough to go to the extra trouble. However, in a recent review the comment was made again so decided it was time to test the waters.

We love helping people. On a few occasions, we have been able to use our products to help those with severe hearing loss. One such person was a businessman from the Boston area. He was having difficulty hearing people clearly during business meetings. To begin, we...

It saddens me to say that it appears the JuicedLink amplifiers are no longer available. We received an order for one of these amplifiers and couldn't reach JuicedLink to place the order. During my efforts to contact them I saw a post online saying that the company...

It has been quite a long time since I address the topic of using amplifiers (preamplifiers) to bring external microphones into a mirrorless/DSLR camera. It is time for an update.

In just a few short days we will be traveling to our fifth NAB convention in Las Vegas (April 22-27). This year Sound Shark will be displayed in our parent company’s, Klover Products, booth – booth #C6841. So stop by and say hello when you are in central hall.

So often, the difference between capturing the moment and missing it entirely relies entirely on timing. Our friend, Dan Weecks, from Weecks Production LLC, arrived at a military burial service that he had been hired to record with his video crew. Dan and his crew arrived early, however, due to a scheduling mix-up at the burial site, the service was moved up and nobody was notified. The video crew was still setting up a boom microphone and cameras when the pallbearers began to move the casket from the hearse to the ceremony site. With no time to set up the intended microphones or cameras, Dan relied on the Sound Shark mounted on top of his portable ENG camera to capture audio of the important event, and to ensure he documented the beginning of the service while set up of the other equipment was completed.

Sound Shark Audio once again showcased its unique parabolic microphone at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, NV, January 5-8, 2017. This year, we partnered with Emmy-winning videographer and BeTerrific CEO Michael Artsis to conduct live interviews with key change-makers. We also captured demo videos on the CES floor, demonstrating the power of the Shark Sound parabolic microphone to capture clear audio from long distance even in the most challenging of settings.

Christmas may have passed us by, but if you’re looking for the perfect birthday or graduation gift for the filmmaker in your life, these holiday lists may give you some inspiration yet. We were honored that Sound Shark was selected for both!

In my last post I discussed some general impressions of the 2016 CES (Consumer Electronics Show) and I promised more about the many, many drones that were on display. Obviously drones are becoming a bigger and bigger part of video production and any videographer or...

After attending the NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) show for a few years I naively believed NAB had to be about as big a show as there could be. My first trip to the CES (Consumer Electronics Show) quickly demonstrated that I was wrong, and in a huge way....

Any time that you mount an accessory to your camera’s flash shoe there is the potential for your camera to be damaged if that accessory takes a hard hit or if the camera is dropped with the accessory still attached. We have included a break-away joint into the design...
