Hi Martin, one note on the arrangement, as far as I know, traditional ambisonic decoding won’t work on hemispherical setups (due to the partial coverage of the sphere by the speakers). You may have to use more recent/advanced methods to get decoding matrices, such as the energy-preserving ambis

Thanks for all the responses. Much appreciated. I'll re-phrase the question in light of some of the answers I've been given. I will be using third-order Ambisonics. My aim mostly is to experiment to get a good sense of what is possible with Ambisonics with height. I have experimented successfully

Plan A is more or less my backup. I'm fairly confident that I can get that working. For my needs the verticality is more important up than down, I would say, but it's a good point that the amount of complexity might make it a better option for my plans next week. I'll keep digging for a hemispheri
