MicNet Control can change the audio output format which is accomplished in the microphone itself via DSP. Output options include unprocessed (for Spatial Mic Converter Plugin), 1st order ambisonics, surround feeds and virtual mic mono or stereo pairs. These additional options beyond unprocessed audio open up many applications for live performance and broadcast when low latency audio feeds are needed.

Hearing Is Believing
Listen now to a selection of different audio pieces recorded with Spatial Mic Dante & USB:
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 mounted together in an array 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.
2nd Order 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. Learn More
Complete Soundfield Control
The Spatial Mic Converter plugin (AAX & VST3) transforms the raw unprocessed audio signals from Spatial Mic USB & 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. Learn More
