AMBISONICS AUDIO FOR VR

The H3-VR’s 4-capsule Ambisonic mic captures precise 360-degree VR audio recordings up to 24 bit/96 kHz. And without ever connecting to a computer, the onboard decoder allows you to export Ambisonics B-format files directly.

 

BINAURAL 3D STEREO

The H3-VR also records stereo binaural WAV files up to 24 bit/48 kHz. Stereo binaural provides a hyper-realistic spatial recording that enhances 2D productions with 3D audio.

 

STANDARD STEREO

The H3-VR even offers standard stereo recording for recordings that will be played out of speakers rather than headphones.

 

5.1 SURROUND FOR VIDEO

Free to download, ZOOM Ambisonics Player software can easily convert Ambisonics audio to a 5.1ch surround file that is pre-aligned to the proper speakers and is exported to your video or audio editor for syncing with standard video.

 

360° LIVE-STREAMING

The H3-VR also enables you to live stream events in 360 degrees so that wherever your fans are, they’ll have access to the best seats in the house.

 

6-AXIS MOTION SENSOR

Auto Mic Position and Level Detection make placing the H3-VR simple. Whether positioned upright, upside down, endfire or endfire inverted, the H3-VR automatically calibrates so your audio and video are already aligned for the post.

 

UPGRADE YOUR GAME EXPERIENCE

The slam of dungeon doors, growl of monsters, or howl of the wind can make or break a player’s fantasy. With the ability to capture high-quality in-game audio, you can elevate your player’s experience to new levels.

 

MONITORING & PLAYBACK

Monitor your audio live in stereo binaural or use the H3-VR’s onboard Ambisonics Decoding to simulate your recorded 360-experience during playback.

 

STREAMING AND MORE

Perfect for live streaming, video conferencing, direct recording, and more, the H3-VR’s audio interface mode turns it into a USB 360 mic for your computer ora  stereo mic for your iOS device.
