Re: [Sursound] [allowed] Re: Soundfield by Rode plugin

[Gerard Lardner]

Has anyone done a calibration of a RØDE NT-SF1 and compared the RØDE 
A-to-B format conversion with the conventional matrix and calibration 
filter A-to-B format conversion - including the effect of a moving mic 
or sound source? Anyone willing to take it on? The results could be very 
interesting.

Hi,


There is slightly more description of their A to B-format processing
(but not much) in Rode's blog:

<http://www.rode.com/blog/all/soundfield-plugin>

>From that web page.

"The SoundField by RØDE plug-in uses a new time-frequency adaptive approach for A to 
B-format conversion. This complex mathematical process means the phase between the 
A-format channels are aligned prior to application of the conversion matrix – essentially 
correcting for the non-coincidence of the capsules prior to any further processing."

How might they phase/time align the capsules ??

This must indeed be highly complex, as it is frequency dependent (low 
frequencies have smaller phase differences than high frequencies) as well as 
source directionally (across multiple blind sources) dependent.

Ciao,

Thanks for that reference. I guess we'll just have to wait for more

I am still hosting the original site of Stephen Thornton's diaries at
https://www.michaelgerzonphotos.org.uk/ so that links to it will not
break.  I may in due course set up mappings so that links to the old
site are transferred to the new one automatically, but not immediately.
Either way, rest assured that links will be preserved.

Re: [Sursound] Rode VideoMic SoundField

[Chris Woolf]

Well there may be a few problems to solve before this can become a 
commercial product.


Peiter has only been with Rode for a short while so the development of 
the array and processing card is probably not complete yet.


I'll predict that the handling and windnoise of the array won't be too 
brilliant with the set-up as shown, and may need some further 
improvement.  And getting the channel gains right with a calibration 
routine that fits in with the Rode factory production system could need 
some original thought.


I suspect it ~will~ appear as a product - there's likely to be a good 
market - but it make take a few more months.

Re: [Sursound] Rode VideoMic SoundField

[Gary Gallagher]

My impression is that they're still thrashing out the specification and
design. The onboard processing  is an interesting demonstration of
ambisonics (though the boffin in me just wants the b format signal :-).
More importantly what will the sound quality be like?

Anything of interest at NAMM?

Re: [Sursound] Servicing a Soundfield MK V in the United States.

[Rudy Chalupa]

Due to necessity, I've learned to service pretty much every piece of my MK IV. 
(I'm the guy who did this: 
https://www.gearslutz.com/board/11410162-post650.html.)If you have a schematic, 
I'd be willing to take a look at your Mk V. I'm in the Philadelphia area.


Cordially,

Subject: [Sursound] Servicing a Soundfield MK V in the United States.

Hello All,From reading the subjects that have been posted over the past year, I 
can see many of us have issues with our Soundfield equipment. I have been able 
to make contact with the U.S. based sales rep in Los Angeles, Ca, and I have 
spoken to TSL support twice in regards to having our Soundfield MK V serviced. 
The conclusion from every angle is that I will have to send it to them in 
Marlow, U.K. to have it serviced.Have any of you found any companies in the 
U.S. that can, or are willing to service Soundfield products? We believe there 
is a power issue at hand and would like to avoid sending it to Europe if at all 
possible.Here is a description of the problem from the Professor. "Actually the 
problem is that it does not always turn on.  There appears to be a problem with 
its power supply that causes it to chirp/click repeatedly while attempting to 
power on, and often even when it does finally turn on (after letting it try and 
“chirp” for a while, the display lights up without the usual channel indicators 
and level meters being displayed.  Sometimes if you let it sit (on) long 
enough, or try cycling the power a number of times in succesion, the unit 
starts up correctly and works as expected."Thank you in advance, and all the 
best to you all!"Barry

Have you tried Pieter directly? p...@tsl.co.uk

He might be able to help off the record, as it were.

BTW, I need a chat and a refresher on your system at some point in the next few 
weeks,

All the best,
