Light, mobile, and easy in use solution for recording 360-degree,
spatial sound in the field
Whenever you prepare a soundtrack for movies, games, or virtual reality projects you want your audio to be high quality, rich and realistic – perfectly combined with the picture. Searching for the best sources of characteristic sounds, you are exploring various locations even if at some of them, it is quite hard for you to move. In these challenging situations, the recording equipment you carry must be light, mobile, and reliable. What’s more, it needs to provide high recording resolution and be able to capture the undistorted, natural sounds you need.

Comparison between mono, stereo, and binaural from Ambisonics
|
|
This video showcases the difference between three sound reproduction techniques – mono, stereo and binaural from Ambisonics.
Notice how at the beginning the audio is like a point in the middle, then it gains more spaciousness by changing to stereo, and finally – it surrounds you from every side when it’s binaural. Binaural audio lets you experience the recorded moments so naturally, as if you were there – such realistic reproduction cannot be achieved with standard recording techniques. |
Opinion of experts

Really impressed with this mic! We recorded some ambisonic concerts with it and it was not only easy to setup, it performed extremely well. Really excited to see where Zylia goes next! |

I love the microphone! |
|
Your microphone is especially interesting for us because of its abilities in separating single lobes and thereby signals out of a sound field - you never know what happens during a field recording session. Sometimes you get great recordings of stuff you didn’t intend to record. Being able to correct a “bad” microphone placement even for those events after the recording would be a great option! |
