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 and 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.

Complete Soundfield Control
The Spatial Mic Converter plugin (AAX, Audio Unit or VST3) transforms the raw unprocessed audio signals from Spatial Mic USB and 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 in Anechoic ChamberSpatial 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.
