Looking at the logo, the top/front capsule is #1. OctoMic pattern: variable, multiple simultaneously, selected at decodeĬapsule ordering and channel assigment: OctoMic's "front" is indicated by the "Core" logo. Microphone Type: 2nd-order (2h1v) ambisonic for VR, surround, stereo, mono Each OctoMic exits the test phase with its own calibration and correction files, used with its A-to-B-format VST encoder plug-in to ensure that each OctoMic is a fine example of one of the best sounding microphones in the world. All in all, each OctoMic undergoes more than seven hours of assembly, testing and calibration. Then another round of exhaustive testing begins, this time for the complete eight capsule assembly. We select eight well-matched capsules and confirm their compatibility. Each capsule is then exhaustively tested for sensitivity, frequency response, directivity pattern and other parameters. Building an OctoMic starts with a large batch of carefully assembled microphone capsules, pre-selected for sensitivity and frequency response. OctoMic is more than eight microphone capsules on a precision machined mount.

OctoMic is priced under $2000, including its processing software and all hardware, including cables. Most much less capable 1st-order ambisonic microphones are priced between $2000 and over $20,000. Until now, you couldn't buy a 2nd-order ambisonic microphones at any price.
This combination of capabilities makes OctoMic one of the world's finest microphones. Its free-field omni response is not quite as good as a Bruel & Kjaer 4133 1/2-inch measurement microphone it's only as good as the wonderful DPA 4003 that we use for calibration - i.e., sensational! However its diffuse-field response is better than the 4003. How good a microphone is OctoMic? We believe OctoMic has the flattest and most extended fig-8 response of any commercially available microphone, bar none (including TetraMic) so it's among the best Blumlein arrays in the world.
Summing up, OctoMic allows your audio projects to have unparalleled flexibility in post-production.

OctoMic can also act as shotgun microphone that's aimed in post-production!īy using a head motion tracker in your editing suite, OctoMic's recordings can dynamically track a listener's head motions, and present the correct spatial location cues for all sound sources. Please compare OctoMic's cost and performance excellence to other spaced array solutions. In addition to modelling any number and type of spatially coincident microphones, OctoMic can model spaced microphone arrays (e.g., ORTF, Decca Tree, Double MS, ORTF-3D, ORTF Surround, Hamasaki Square, Fukada Tree, INA, PCMA-3D) by using more than one OctoMic.
