*Subject:*Re: [Sursound] Comparison Sennheiser Ambeo mic vs. Rode NT-SF1?
Hi Stefan
One can use multiple instances to create as many beamformers as one needs
to upmix or extract. One doesn't need to be constrained to 7.1 or 5.1
positions, as all beamformers can be moved. Although in pairs and a
separate centre channel, which is a pain.
As i mentioned earlier, it good at this, a lot better than the usual
virtual first order mic. As one can suppress the rear lobe. It is
definitely sharper as well.
I can't compare it directly to Harpex as i don't have the full Harpex
version, just the algorithm in Blue Ripples Harpex up mixer. (which i use
all the time)
The Rode plugin is free so try it. I am not sure why, as I think users
would pay for its decording. I am now using it regularly.
Best
Steve

They don’t mention this, in fact this seems to be a kind of Facebook
speculation...
Other sources:
https://digitalfilmmaker.net/rode-soundfield-nt-sf1-ambisonic-microphone/
So in my understanding you can’t simulate a high-resolution ambisonics
to 5.1 decoding (for example) with 5 virtual shotgun mikes. Because
the “shotgun capsule responses” won’t add up to a 5.1 microphone at
all... (The 5.1 mike capsule responses should be rather cardioid, and
a coincident stereophonic 5.1 microphone ain’t be good either.)
It is even less clear how a supposed new parametric ambisonics
decoding process should work, because such a thing is neither
explained nor even mentioned by Rode - and I don’t see any function to
test...
Do I miss anything? Of course it would be quite sensational if Rode
should have invented a new form of FOA upsampling AND would give this
away “for free” in some plugin. (AND then not promoting this
sensational feature...)
But I highly doubt it...
Best,
Stefan
P.S.: But in case I should be wrong, it would have been me to provoke
a reaction from Rode which would < unveil > a very hidden and
insignificant superresolution feature. 😎
