The XY technique of placing two mics together, pointing in contrasting directions, gives excellent field separation while eliminating phase problems — and it also looks pretty cool. Exactly which of those benefits Logitec had in mind when developing the LIC-WMREC03P (for Sony’s Walkman) and LIC-iREC03P (for the iPod/iPhone) microphone attachments is unknown to us, but it certainly looks a fair bit more impressive than last year’s LIC-iREC01. The devices have a frequency response of 20Hz to 16kHz, sport a pair of simple toggles for adjusting sound levels, offer 3.5mm and USB inputs, and come with a pair of wind socks if things get breezy — or if they just don’t look pudgy enough for you. Both are expected to hit Japan in January, each at an expected price of ¥7,980 (or about $84).
