Decoding Ambisonics Recordings with IEM Plugins

Ambisonics A- vs B-Format

In contrast to the encode-ambisonics formats in audioproduction 1 order ambisonics microphones like the Sennheiser Ambeo microphone records in Ambisonics A-Format. Here 4 Directive-Microphonecapsules are positioned on the surface of a tetraeder recording audio from four different directions. This recordings can be converted to B-Format/AmbiX (e.g. with the Ambeo Plugin <https://de-de.sennheiser.com/ambeo-abconverter>).

After the conversion you can work with it like with any encoded signal.
