Ambisonics is a full-sphere surround sound format: in addition to the horizontal plane, it covers sound sources above and below the listener. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Unlike some other multichannel surround formats, its transmission channels do not carry speaker signals.
It consists of 19 omni-directional microphone capsules distributed on a sphere (up to third order Ambisonics microphone). ZM-1 microphone together with provided software delivers sound source separation possibilities, as well as optionally generating Ambisonic outputs up to third order. Sennheiser offers the FOA Ambeo tetrahedral microphone. It ...
The Soundfield microphone is an audio microphone composed of four closely spaced subcardioid or cardioid (unidirectional) microphone capsules arranged in a tetrahedron. It was invented by Michael Gerzon and Peter Craven, and is a part of, but not exclusive to, Ambisonics, a surround sound technology. It can function as a mono, stereo or ...
SoundField was the pioneering company that first commercialized 360-degree surround sound recording (known as 'ambisonic recording') in the late 1970s. SoundField microphones find primary applications in 5.1 and 7.1 live sports broadcasts, video game and film sound design, as well as virtual reality.
The Soundfield microphone used to make Ambisonic recordings can be adjusted to mimic two microphones of any pattern at any angle to each other, including a Blumlein pair. In his early experiments at EMI with what he called "binaural" sound, Blumlein did not use this actual technique because he did not have access to figure-eight microphones ...
Ambisonic UHJ format is a development of the Ambisonic surround sound system designed to be compatible with mono and stereo media. It is a hierarchy of systems in which the recorded soundfield will be reproduced with a degree of accuracy that varies according to the available channels.
Goodwin (2009) has suggested a slanted octahedron with separate front center (which he calls 3D7.1) [17] as an alternative way of using 7.1 systems to achieve with-height Ambisonic reproduction in games, and to allow reasonably accurate native 5.1 playback. An OpenAL game audio backend and decoder for this setup is commercially available. [18]
Core Sound LLC is an audio equipment manufacturer of microphones and audio electronics, primarily addressing portable recording and microphones designed using psychoacoustic principles. Founded in 1989, it is a manufacturer of binaural microphones for binaural recording .
