PRECISION SPATIAL AUDIO CAPTURE

Spatial Mic lets you focus on recording immersive audio for VR, ATMOS, spatial music, concert recording, live broadcasts and much more. Want to use it in traditional stereo session? No Problem – the included software makes it easy to decode to stereo and aim virtual mics around the soundfield. No need for expensive multi-microphone & preamp setups – just plug-in and record with either Dante audio networking or USB/ADAT models.

360º Creativity

From studio to field, live concerts and the latest XR applications, your next adventure begins with Spatial Mic.

Future Proof Immersive Production

Record audio for evolving formats in VR/AR and leverage Dante audio networking to create 6 Degree Of Freedom experiences with multiple Spatial Mics.

Portability Redefined

Low noise & high SPL handling with single wire connectivity provides the freedom to leave bulky gear at home — even in the most demanding environments.

Critical Recording Flexibility

Spatial Mic transforms audio capture in the recording studio with unmatched control, versatility, quality and unique connectivity options to compliment your setup.

Broadcast & Live Concerts

Capture or live stream mono, stereo or multichannel audio feeds for sporting events, concerts, television, YouTube 360, Facebook 360 and more.

Expand Your Vision

Open new markets for your business and deliver content to Dolby Atmos, ambisonics or explore the sound field in mono, stereo X/Y, Blumlein or any format you would normally use for your production.

Test & Measurement

Use Spatial Mic to record & playback Impulse Responses in an acoustic space, view hotspots and sound reflections or explore new ways to interact with sound.

Designed For Innovative Recording

Spatial Mic is crafted to bring your recordings to life in the most realistic way possible. More than simply a microphone – analog and digital electronics work together with software components to create incredibly engaging audio.

8 Capsule Spatial Audio Capture

High spatial resolution made possible with 8 analog capsules for 2nd Order Ambisonics.

High Performance Audio Design

Professional grade analog to digital conversion, high resolution Skyworks clocking scheme and built-in 32-bit XMOS Processor.

Individual Calibration 

Each microphone is individually calibrated prior to shipping for quick recording with a balanced array.

Spatial Mic USB

  • USB Streaming up to 24-bit / 96 kHz
  • ADAT Light-Pipe up to 24-bit / 48 kHz
  • Live Binaural headphone playback
  • USB Bus powered or external 5v
  • Texas Instruments analog front end, ADC & DAC
  • Spatial Mic Control app for configuration over USB

Complete Soundfield Control

The Spatial Mic Converter plugin (AAX, Audio Unit & VST3) transforms the raw unprocessed audio signals from Spatial Mic USB & Dante to a number of different formats suitable for any type of audio production and opens advanced features like the ability to aim virtual mics in 360º.

Output Options 

Spatial Mic employs the concept of Ambisonics to transform the raw signals from the capsule array to a format suitable for audio production.

The included software takes the guesswork out of this, letting you concentrate on your recordings. It’s as simple as setting the output to your desired format – mono, stereo, surround sound or even Ambisonics!

Ambisonics enables audio reproduction on any number of speakers in varying configurations. To accomplish this, Spatial Mic Converter uses an internal 64-channel filter matrix and measurements from an anechoic chamber.

MicNet Control App

MicNet Control provides remote control of the analog stage and internal DSP processing of Spatial Mic Dante. Computers on the Dante network running MicNet Control can change the parameters of any microphone on the network.

MicNet Control can change the audio output format which is accomplished in the microphone itself via DSP. Output options include unprocessed (for Spatial Mic Converter Plugin), 1st order ambisonics, surround feeds and virtual mic mono or stereo pairs. These additional options beyond unprocessed audio open up many applications for live performance and broadcast when low latency audio feeds are needed.

Spatial Mic Control App

The Spatial Mic Control app provides remote manipulation of various hardware parameters on Spatial Mic USB. Spatial Mic Control communicates with the microphone through the same USB cable used to supply power and stream audio data. Spatial Mic Control replicates the hardware controls found on Spatial Mic USB itself and adds additional functionality.

Note - Shockmount is an optional extra
