  1. High Def Audio? by kybred · · Score: 3, Insightful
    Is it 720p or 1080i?

    The term High Def should not be applied to audio.

    Oh, the article is already /.ed.

    Anyone got any more?

    At any rate it doesn't even say what type of microphone it is (condenser, dynamic?) and what's all that rubbish about being the first to have "L/R-user select function", because using 2 microphones to capture left and right separately has obviously /never/ been done before

    Who posted this? Honestly!
