The SPS200 A-Format microphone uses the same SoundField multi-capsule technology as the high-end models in the SoundField range. This relatively lightweight microphone (approximately 220grams) is powered by standard 48v phantom power and incorporates four low noise, studio grade condenser capsules. A short break-out cable outputs the SoundField A-Format at mic level on four balanced XLRs, ensuring compatibility with all equipment.
The SPS200 A-Format microphone is the first SoundField microphone that does not require an accompanying control unit. All the processing such as the A to B-Format conversion, stereo and surround sound decoding/manipulation takes place in software which comes packaged as standard with the SPS200 A-Format microphone. There are two plug-ins: “SoundField Conversion Lounge” takes care of the A to B-Format conversion and the “SoundField Surround Zone” looks after all the aspects associated with the stereo and surround sound decoding and manipulation. The software is currently available for Pro-Tools HD and all platforms supporting VST-Multichannel such as Nuendo, Cubase, Soundscape, etc. on both PC and MAC platforms.
