Ambisonic A-format Channel Ordering




First Order Mic


Core Sound's TetraMic has four capsules at:
1
ULF
2
DRF
3
DLB
4
URB
see also: Ambisonics Microphone

Standardisation, firstly as to orientation, then as to channel ordering is obviously desirable.
The problem of how to create a logical linear sequence for an array of objects on a notionally spherical surface is identical to that posed by giving a sequence for more complex speaker arrays.

It is intended to release the final standard under an appropriate licence (that allows use and copying, but which prohibits changes (that would confuse the result with the original) and requires attribution).For the moment these pages are copyright © 2008 Michael Chapman. All rights reserved.
