posted:
For broadcasters of world-class major sporting events or music concerts, a single SoundField mic is all that's needed to generate simultaneous stereo and 5.1 audio for SD or HD transmission.
Even audio already captured in stereo, such as recorded archive material, can now be converted into phase-coherent 5.1 by utilising SoundField upmix processors.
