Zylia has introduced a Windows tablet-compatible version of their software for their ZM-1 microphone, giving users a mobile solution for 3rd order Ambisonics recording.

“Field recordings can yield unique audio samples that bring terrific character and richness to a variety of applications,” says Tomasz ?ernicki co-founder and chief technology officer of Zylia. “Sound engineers use the ZM-1 for ambient sound recording in the field, and to create spatial soundscapes. Musicians heading to outdoor concerts and jam sessions use the microphone to capture live shows and one-of-a-kind collaborations. Now requiring only the microphone and tripod, a tablet, and headphones, field recording with the ZM-1 is unbelievably simple and convenient.”

The ZYLIA ZM-1 is a compact mic, capable of delivering 48-kHz/24-bit resolution while capturing the full spatial sound scene. Boasting 19 MEMS microphones, the spherical array ,together with software, can auto-detect sound sources from around the microphone and capture that sound as separate tracks for further editing on a digital audio workstation.
