Designed For Innovative Recording
Spatial Mic is crafted to bring your recordings to life in the most realistic way possible. More than simply a microphone – analog and digital electronics work together with software components to create incredibly engaging audio.

8 Capsule Spatial Audio Capture
High spatial resolution made possible with 8 analog capsules for 2nd Order Ambisonics.

High Performance Audio Design
Professional grade analog to digital conversion, high resolution Skyworks clocking scheme and built-in 32-bit XMOS Processor.

Individual Calibration
Each microphone is individually calibrated prior to shipping for quick recording with a balanced array.

Complete Soundfield Control
The Spatial Mic Converter plugin (AAX, Audio Unit or VST3) transforms the raw unprocessed audio signals from Spatial Mic USB and Dante to a number of different formats suitable for any type of audio production and opens advanced features like the ability to aim virtual mics in 360º.

Output Options
Spatial Mic in Anechoic ChamberSpatial Mic employs the concept of Ambisonics to transform the raw signals from the capsule array to a format suitable for audio production.

The included software takes the guesswork out of this, letting you concentrate on your recordings. It’s as simple as setting the output to your desired format – mono, stereo, surround sound or even Ambisonics! Ambisonics enables audio reproduction on any number of speakers in varying configurations. To accomplish this, Spatial Mic Converter uses an internal 64-channel filter matrix and measurements from an anechoic chamber.

Spatial Record App
The Spatial Record App is a user-friendly, multichannel recording tool designed for iOS, macOS and Windows. Use it to effortlessly record multichannel audio files up to 24-bit / 96 kHz from Spatial Mic USB to devices like iPhones, iPads and laptops. Spatial Mic Dante can also be recorded with the help of Dante Virtual Soundcard or other Dante interface. Audio files are saved as multichannel .wav files, which can then be easily imported into your DAW of choice for conversion with the Spatial Mic Converter plugin.

Using the Spatial Record App alongside Spatial Mic USB offers a complete solution for capturing higher-order ambisonics wherever your travels may take you. The app’s intuitive design ensures quick setup, so you don’t miss out on critical recordings. Additionally, Spatial Record features a DSP mode for binaural playback (for files recorded with Spatial Mic), file browser and live monitoring.

Spatial Mic Control App
The Spatial Mic Control app provides remote manipulation of various hardware parameters on Spatial Mic USB. Spatial Mic Control communicates with the microphone through the same USB cable used to supply power and stream audio data. Spatial Mic Control replicates the hardware controls found on Spatial Mic USB itself and adds additional functionality.
