Microphone systems (advanced)

 

HOSMA

This is a 7th order ambisonic microphone system build by a team of the university of applied science of Cologne.
This article is still under construction, but will be provided very soon.

OCT - Optimal Cardioid Triangle

This is not an ambisonic microphone system, but offers many advantages that come in handy in certain situations. See in this article

OCT - Surround

This is an extension of the OCT system and offers a natural and stable surround soundscape. A separate article is still in the works, but we have already discussed a few basic aspects in the article “OCT - Optimal Cardioid Triangle.”

OCT - 9

A further extension of the OCT system and the OCT Surround system. It provides some height information and thus also a more natural and enveloping listening experience.
This article is still under review. Please check again later.

OCT - 9+

This is a further development of "ambisonic.studio" from the OCT - 9 system.
It allows you to make recordings where all channels can be easily routed to a 7.1.4 setup (e.g., Dolby Atmos).
This article is still under review. Please check again later.

There are more to come. - Stay tuned.
