雙聲道臉部 WHISMR W-FACE1
雙聲道麥克風「WHISMR W-BM1」的開發商WHISMR合同會社（代表：山田裕司）將於2026年3月31日開始銷售「雙聲道臉部 W-FACE1」，這是一款用於更自然雙聲道錄音的擴展選項。
本產品是一款可後裝於W-BM1的擴展單元，採用“模擬人頭結構”，可重現臉部表面產生的聲音繞射和遮蔽效果，從而提高聲音影像的重現性，尤其是在前方方向。它能在不損害便攜性的情況下，實現更自然、更立體的雙聲道錄音。
開發背景
雙聲道麥克風「WHISMR W-BM1」因其僅需智慧型手機即可進行專業級立體錄音的便攜性而受到許多用戶的支持。然而，僅由“耳朵”構成的雙聲道麥克風，與人頭模型相比，前方聲音影像容易變得有些模糊。
在雙聲道錄音中，臉部表面的反射、繞射和遮蔽對聲音影像定位有顯著影響。因此，經過多次試作，我們開發了「雙聲道臉部 W-FACE1」擴展單元，在保持便攜性的同時，僅增加了人頭模型所具有的聲學優勢。
雙聲道臉部試作品
「雙聲道臉部 W-FACE1」的主要特點
1. 重現臉部表面的聲學效果，自然補充聲音影像品質
透過安裝W-FACE1，增加了臉部表面產生的繞射、遮蔽和反射元素，有助於補充聲音影像的自然度。它有助於錄製更能感受到人聲或樂器“臨場感”的音訊。
※聲音影像的感受可能因個人而異。
2. 矽膠材質臉部部分（硬度85°）
臉部部分採用了硬度為85°的矽膠材質。這兼顧了穩定的聲學特性和高耐久性，適合戶外錄音。
3. 專用延長桿帶來的擴展性
隨附一根專用延長桿，可將W-BM1頂部的1/4英寸螺孔向上延伸。
這也使得連接智慧型手機支架、小型配件、裝飾部件等更多選配件成為可能。
4. 保持便攜性
此設計不損害小型W-BM1的便攜性優勢，方便攜帶到戶外使用。
常見問題
What is the "Binaural Face W-FACE1"?
The "Binaural Face W-FACE1" is an expansion unit designed to be attached to the WHISMR W-BM1 binaural microphone. It features a pseudo dummy head structure that reproduces the acoustic effects of a human face, enhancing the naturalness and clarity of binaural recordings, particularly for sounds originating from the front.
How does the W-FACE1 improve binaural recording?
It improves binaural recording by simulating the diffraction, shielding, and reflection of sound waves that occur on a human face. This helps to create a more realistic and localized sound image, especially for voices and instruments directly in front of the microphone, addressing a common limitation of ear-only binaural microphones.
Is the W-FACE1 difficult to attach or carry?
No, the W-FACE1 is designed as a simple, aftermarket attachment that does not compromise the portability of the W-BM1. Its compact design ensures it can be easily carried outdoors along with the microphone.
What is the face part made of and why?
The face part is made of silicone rubber with a hardness of 85°. This material was chosen for its stable acoustic properties and high durability, making the unit suitable for use in various environments, including outdoor recording.
Can I attach other accessories to the W-FACE1?
Yes, the W-FACE1 comes with a dedicated extension rod that extends the 1/4-inch screw hole on the W-BM1. This allows you to attach additional accessories like smartphone holders or small lights.
