RØDE Microphones has announced a new 360-degree surround sound capture microphone. The new product is the first in a series of releases for a new brand in the RØDE family, called Soundfield.
The first product for the SoundField By RØDE family is the NT-SF1, which features 1/2-inch TF45C capsules in tetrahedral array. The NT-SF1 produces four channel A-format recordings, which can be transformed and manipulated in B-Format, courtesy of the soon-to-be-released SoundField by RØDE plug-in.
“When The Freedman Group acquired SoundField in late-2016, the aim was to continue producing the premier 360-degree audio capture loved by the professionals who bring us cinema sound and 7.1 broadcast,” says Freedman Group CEO Damien Wilson. “And we are. But, as is the RØDE way, we have brought our manufacturing and design expertise to bear on this new family of microphones. The SoundField By RØDE NT-SF1 is for creators for whom the ultra-high-end SoundField products are out of reach, and delivers results unmatched by all but the most expensive ambisonic microphones.”
RØDE’s NT-SF1 costs $999 and will be available soon.
