Soyuz 013 Ambisonic | 360° surround microphone

Ambisonic audio has been around since the 1970s, and although the format was introduced with high hopes, it didn’t catch on at first. Over the years, however, Ambisonic microphones became a secret weapon for imaginative producers and engineers looking to stand out and expand their sound. Producers like Steve Albini have used Ambisonic microphones to expand the stereo field and add a unique sonic signature to many records. They have been used as the only microphone for entire albums, used by classical sound engineers for entire symphonies, and used on stages and in movie studios to create a truly immersive experience that translates to any system.
