Re: [Sursound] Re Re: Ambisonic Mic Comparison

Hi Enda Thanks for the update. That all seems to make sense. I just wanted to confirm. I haven’t been using the new Ambeo conversion plugin, so my 2 cents were based on the previous version. This may of skewed my perception! It’s good news anyway, as the top end needed eq’ing for my ears. I ha

Re: [Sursound] Ambisonic Mic Comparison

Hi Enda Thanks for this, it’s great to have an objective comparison. It seems to contradict my observations between the Ambeo and the Tetramic. I have both these, a Soundfield ST350, and a H2n. I personally rate my Soundfield the best overall, but curious about your Tetramic setup. Personally I

Hi Archontis The size is 170mm diameter not radius. They also state the capsules are in arrays of 16, so 4 arrays of 16 capsules. Looking at the camera though, I can’t work it out…. The also said: 'The noise and frequency respond i quote is for individual mic. We have noise reduction algorithm

Hi all Just seen this... https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/303473622/affordable-professional-360o-sound-and-video-camer It has 64mics, plus 9 4k camera's and is a lot cheaper than an Eigen mic. Any thoughts? As it's got my attention. Steve -- next part -- An HTML atta

Re: [Sursound] Freedman Electronics Purchases Soundfield

This great news all round. I found TSL very slow, to the point where 6 months later they may get back to you, if prompted with reminders. That was to purchase a part! I don't think they cared about soundfield, or really understood the market, let alone the VR boat they massively missed. As impli

! love the idea of having something really mobile though. I had a dream a couple of days ago that Zoom had made a new ambisonic mic for my Zoom H6. On Fri, Oct 28, 2016 at 4:12 PM Steven Boardman wrote: > Another mobile ambisonic solution, is this for real? > > https://m.youtube.com/watch?v

Re: [Sursound] New FOA recorder

There is on the f8 after firmware a update, so i presume so. The pre amps are good on the f8 too, so they are probably the same on this. (I await a tetrahedral A Format monitoring decoder via firmware update, aka h2n spatial audio ☺️ Steve On 6 Sep 2016 15:27, "Paul Hodges" wrote: > --On 06 Se
