Hi Richard, The Ambisonic Toolkit includes an encoder that will take a set of directions and polar patterns and encode to FOA B-format. The encoder is a simple "matrix only" encoding, and doesn't include coincidence correction and/or any other frequency dependent operations. As you'd expect, y

Hey Eric, Yes, please. I’d love to read them, and thanks for the information. I think I will attempt the following: 1 Omni for W pointed upward 2 figure 8 placed across one another for front-back and left-right (X / Y) No need for Z at the moment. Does this sound reasonable? I read an article

Native B-format would be the way to do it alright, although depending on your decoding/loudspeaker array requirements, the Double MS technique could be worth a look also. http://www.schoeps.de/en/products/categories/dms-tool e -- - www.endabates.net -- next part -- An HTML

Hi Everyone, Does anyone have any experience recording B-Format with multiple microphones set to specific polar patterns (i.e. if you don’t have access to an ambisonic / tetramic?). Is it possible? If so, what are some of the issues / problems with this approach? Thanks, Richard > On Feb 28,
