Dotterel Konos Classic 80-Element Microphone Array
The Dotterel Konos Classic uses an 80-element MEMS array to give an adjustable pickup pattern and optional real-time noise filtering, so it captures clear sound at a distance, even in noisy places.
The system pairs the array with the Konos processor, which feeds three balanced XLR outputs at once. Several virtual microphones capture target and ambient audio at once as separate channels, which makes mixing and editing in post easier.
One array gives three pickup patterns. Narrow Beam (60°) focuses on a distant subject, much like a hypercardioid mic. Mid Beam (100°) opens to a wider pattern, typical of cardioid mics, that hears more of the room. Wide Beam takes in the full 180° in front of the mic, indoors or out.
The processor runs on external 12 V USB Power Delivery, and a 10,000 mAh power bank runs the system for about 3.5 hours.
