Newcomer spatial microphone
SPC Microphones is a newcomer to me. I don't know much about their microphone and it's a different beast, with 84 MEMS capsules. Most ambisonic mics are ball-shaped, this one is planar. An array. Besides spatial, it also seems to have a "long distance" mode. It obviously comes with software for Linux, Mac and Windows.
https://spcmic.com/ Have a look and tell me what you think. It's not cheap, at 2500$, but it looks interesting. Tech specs below: Code:
MEMS microphones 84 Individually calibrated Yes Frequency range 20 Hz – 20 kHz Equivalent self noise 3 dB-A / 12 dB CCIR (in ultra-sensitive mode) Acoustic overload point 130 dB SPL Temperature compensation Yes Orientation sensor Yes Connector USB-C Diameter 170 mm Depth 5.6 mm Latency 3 ms Ambisonic resolution 3rd order 3D Beamforming resolution 5th order 3D Field recording app Mac OS, Windows, Linux Studio DAW plugin VST, AU, AAX Sample rate 0 – 96 kHz Sample clock synchronization Automatic Driver installation No Bottom microphone mount 3/8” Top camera mount Optional Mass 168 g

I just learned of this one yesterday. It certainly looks like a beast, and so low profile compared to other HOA mics. Are the audio examples on the Harpex site actual samples from the development of this mic or just one like it?

«All recordings were done with a prototype array having 84 IM69D130 microphones on a 17 cm diameter baffle»

Thx for the comments, guys.
So it's developed by Harpex. Definitely among the "good guys", in my book.

Hi there,
I have had the opportunity to use the spcmic for a series of recordings and am extremely impressed. IMHO it is a game changer. Check out some links here: https://youtu.be/HK6ANnBVcLc https://youtu.be/jAI9QoVEAis And here is a clip where you see it being used to record one of my gigs in Lisbon: https://youtu.be/07eagyOuS-o Cheers, Andrew |
