Zoom's new firmware update lets you record 360-degree audio using your Zoom F8 MultiTrack Field Recorder and Sennheiser AMBEO VR Microphone.
Zoom released the new v4.0 firmware for their F8 recorder today. It features support for first-order ambisonic microphones, including TetraMic.
We recommend using the F8's "Ambisonics A" mode. That mode configures the F8 to record TetraMic's four A-format tracks, while also allowing you to monitor in real-time via speakers or headphones.
By recording in A-format you'll retain the ability to apply your TetraMic's unique calibration files. Those files make your TetraMic into one of the world's finest ambisonic microphones. But even monitoring without the calibration files, TetraMic is pretty fine.
At first listen, the Zoom monitoring function decode seems to be XY using two virtual cardioid microphones. We haven't measured the patterns yet, so we can't tell you what angle they selected between the virtual microphones.
