A 5.1 surround sound recording ready for broadcast
The microphone provides a discrete 5.1 analog output, allowing for quick integration into professional production environments. The three front-facing microphones are time-aligned to eliminate comb filtering effects and ensure excellent coherence during stereo or mono mixing.
An immersive and natural rendering
The rear microphones are optimally positioned to reproduce the natural variations in sound arrival. This design provides excellent channel separation, precise localization of sound sources, and a particularly realistic immersion.
