Listen well
Shh, let's whisper. Nikon has engineered an amazing new stereo microphone, the ME1. Okay, fine, we don't need to whisper. Yeah, yeah, the whole written word as a medium sort of defies the act of whispering. It's just that shouting from the rooftops is a bit lame, old hat. The ME1 deserves better, and, were we whispering, it would have been able to record us with crystal-clear quality. It does more than just record; I mean, come on, so did gramophones from the 1870s. The ME1 significantly reduces noise with its autofocus feature. Also, a low-cut filter helps block out noise caused by wind or other low frequencies. It even comes equipped with a cable stop to hold the cord in place and prevent noise from accidental contact. So, go ahead, start whispering, the ME1 will record it for you.
