Introducing ambiMIK-1, an affordable First Order
Ambisonic (FOA) microphone with embedded preamp, Analog to Digital
converters (ADC) and USB processor. This compact solution enables high
sample rates (up to 32bit/192kHz) in a portable package. With
applications ranging from VR/AR & music recording, the ambiMIK-1 doesn’t require any bulky external preamp or XLR cables. A simple USB cable to your tablet/laptop and you’re ready to go!
With
its 4 low noise 14mm capsules, its slim aluminum body and nylon
protective frame, the ambiMIK-1 package was engineered for durability
and optimal performance without breaking the bank.
Last but not
least, miniDSP partnered with Dirac Research for the design of a VST
plugin specifically calibrated for the ambiMIK-1 with over 1200
measurements. The controls include Yaw/Pitch/Roll/Output gain and Output
Format (B format or Binaural).
