Not with the Brahma. SoundDevices multi-track recorders have a B-Format
stereo decoder, but the Brahma outputs A-Format, AFAIK.

For monitoring purposes on the 788T, you can route the Brahma capsules 1 &
3 to the left and 2 & 4 to the right.

As for the plug-ins, you can try mine! I'm also a Nuendo user.

[Sursound] Calculating speaker placement

2014-07-09 Thread Steve Boardman
Hi All,

After lots of head scratching (and buying more speakers), I have finally 
decided on a 32 identical speaker set up ( plus four subs)
I have decided to base the array on platonic solids. Even though advise on this 
list has said there is no need, I wanted to be sure of the most accurate angle 
coverage, and also decoder efficiency. 
As this is new build, the construction can assist in placement, and I can 
preserve equal angle coverage. It also means all speakers will be in or against 
a boundary allowing for greater use of space. I will delay and adjust gain 
according to distance, and EQ each speaker at the centre to compensate. 
I want to use the vertices of both an icosahedron combined with the vertices 
dodecahedron. Effectively the faces and vertices of a dodecahedron. 
The problem I have is that I need to find the angles from the centre (listening 
position) to mark a speaker position (within the space), and was wondering what 
was the best way of doing this? Laser level protractor maybe or has anyone any 
other methods? Or is it all just a bad idea considering that not many speakers 
will be at equal distance?
As usual all advise is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Steve

Hi Steve.

You can use "golden rectangles" (of ratio 1/1.618) to calculate
placements of your speakers. You can refer to:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icosahedron
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodecahedron
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_rectangle

Curious what speakers you're using.
