Cannot beat at this price

ioannis.tsiokos 14.05.2019

As of this date, you will not find anything else that comes even close to be able to quickly and easily grab Ambisonic audio.

That said, I would definitely pay double for a unit that:
* had lower self noise so I could use it for landscape recording in quite places
* had more realistic binaural encoders. I am not sure if it is the hardware's or the software's fault (I am guessing the later), but the encoding from 4 (8) channel audio to binaural is not as realistic as some binaural recordings I have found on the net. It's ok for the money though.

This device is practical to transport and when you need to record ambiences with closed sound sources can be accepted, but for sources, which are not so close, I would suggest to use other AmbiX Microphone.

Good package but a bit noisy for quiet environments

Jason Lam 20.12.2020

Initially wanted to use it to do field recording in nature. Its hardware is nice - lightweight, small, convenient (with bluetooth control option) with a very nice mount for use with a camera. However, it is not very sensitive to soft sound, and its pre-amp is a bit too noisy. There were also some handling noise which was not noticeable in the audio captured by camera while I was recording on the move. At the end, I had to use the audio file captured from camera. Perhaps it would be a good option for those recording an environment requiring less gain.

Its ambisonics player is quite nice and it exports audio file in different setting (e.g. stereo) quite easily.

For the price - this is a remarkable bit of kit!

Lancelot13 14.02.2022

I bought this to play around with and explore ambisonic recording a bit more. Is it a rode nuts or an ambeo? No not at all but it equally does come even close to their price. IT is an extremely compact recorder complete with a little tetrahedral ambisonic array! It does a great job and the recordings are perfectly usable and relatively clean and clear. Of course it hasn't got boutique preamps or 32 bit float recording - but it's a very modest price and opens up the world of ambisonics/surround/binaural in a very straightforward and easily accessed form. The recordings from it are great and I've recently added the little bluetooth adapter so that I can control from my phone. What's not to like. I own quite a few microphones that cost more than this - but it does a great job and is portable enough to take anywhere easily. It lasts ages on a couple of batteries and does a great job!
