Zylia ZM-1

If you have some money saved up and are looking for an extraordinary high-order ambisonic microphone system, you may want to try this:
People sometimes sell the Zylia ZM-1 on eBay for an attractive price because they don't know what this microphone system can do.
If you're lucky, you might find an original, unopened box for $500-$700.
Make sure you have the "Have it all" version. That way, you'll have the cable, software, and everything else.

It's pretty versatile and works via USB 2.0. If you have a laptop, you can start using it in a few minutes. If you have an iPad Pro, make sure it has an M1 or M2 CPU. No other CPU will work!

The crazy thing is that you can convert a ZM-1 signal into Dolby Atmos using either Reaper or Pro Tools. For that, you will also need the Fiedler Audio Atmos tools. The free essential version is sufficient for this purpose.
