Encode

Turn a microphone array into an ambisonic field

screenshot

Every spatial recording starts as a handful of capsule signals that mean nothing on their own. Encode turns them into an ambisonic field, up to 10th order, using the geometry of the array you actually used.

Built-in geometries for tetrahedral, ORTF, ESMA, Decca, Hamasaki and IRT arrays, or describe your own — by angle, or by the capsule spacings you measured with calipers.

Any array, described two ways

Enter azimuth and elevation, or type the pairwise spacings you measured. Both edit the same array and the other view follows.

Tells you what it can carry

Reads out the orders your array supports, the widest gap in its coverage, and the frequency above which its capsules stop hearing one wavefront.

Up to 10th order

121 channels over CLAP, 7th order over VST3, ambiX ACN/SN3D throughout.

See the array

The capsules drawn in space, and the field they produce, side by side and updating as you edit.
