I watched an instructional DVD ("Sound for Film and Television" by Barry Green, David Jimerson) which listed a microphone called "T.H.E. Hyper". What would that be? Google doesn't tell me anything.

T.H.E. Audio: Hand-crafted, professional condenser microphones for recording and stage (http://www.theaudio.com/)

KA-04 body w/ KR-3H capsule. T.H.E Audio's SD condenser modular system.
The company's been around for a while and used to advertise in the pro-audio publications. Never used any of their mics, nor can I recall anyone using them for production sound .They certainly appear to be nicely made.

Never used them either but I know they sale them over at The Sound Room(reputable company) T.H.E. Audio (http://oktava.com/t_h_e__audio?b=1)
