This special design allows you to capture the sound that surrounds you from a single point. As a result you get fully spherical ambisonics sound to match your VR video\/spherical 360 content.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe output of the Sennheiser AMBEO VR Mic is in Ambisonics A-format which is the raw 4-channel output from the capsules that has to be converted into Ambisonics B-format. This is done by the Sennheiser AMBEO A-B format converter plugin, which is available as a free download in VST, AU and AAX format so you can use it in any PC or MAC based DAW Here are links to the plugin:-\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en-uk.sennheiser.com\/global-downloads\/file\/9840\/Sennheiser_AMBEO_A-B_format_converter_Mac_OSX_v1_2.zip\" title=\"Download Mac version\"\u003eDownload Mac version\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en-uk.sennheiser.com\/global-downloads\/file\/9841\/Sennheiser_AMBEO_A-B_format_converter_Windows_v1_2.zip\" title=\"Download Windows version\"\u003eDownload Windows version\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eB-format is a W, X, Y, Z representation of the sound field around the microphone.

So directional information can be reproduced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Ambeo is supplied with a foam windshield, a Rycote INV-7 shock mount, a 4 channel output splitter cable and a 1.5m extension cable.
