The SoundField range of microphones is designed to capture the most realistic and technically correct acoustical “picture” of an acoustical event and assemble it in a way that can be heard over any playback system, past, present or future. A SoundField is unsurpassed at capturing the real sound you experience in person. It is especially exciting when the acoustical event has motion (sports), a very powerful image (a high performance recital hall) or when background sound is critical to the overall experience (ambient sound like the ocean). It’s best feature is that it is both backward and forward compatible (mono to stereo to 5.1 to 10.1 and back again) without phase error. The technology is so fantastic you can change the location of the microphone AFTER you have recorded the event! The SoundField technology is based on a microphone with a patented four capsule tetrahedral array and a matching SoundField preamp/processor unit. The preamp/processor assembles and coordinates the raw mic signals into a three dimensional acoustical “model” of the real acoustical event. The result is a stunning image, conveying everything you hear when you are there. (Click here for more on the Soundfield technology) There are four SoundField Microphone Systems all using the same technology: one for high end studios, the Mark V; a smaller unit for studios or portable use when AC power is available, the SPS422B; a software controlled version for studios, the SPS200; and one for portable DC power applications, the ST350. All SoundField recordings require a “decode” process to retrieve the three dimensional information for the recorded signal called B format. This process is done within the preamp/processor for mono, M/S and stereo. It is done outside the preamp/processor if you want 5.1 or beyond, or if you need to modify any SoundField recording or may move back and forth between delivery mediums regularly. You can do this manipulation in two ways: in analog hardware with the SP451, or in digital software with SurroundZone.
