What's the future of B-Format?

Inexpensive professional grade B-Format to 5.1 surround decoding is now a reality with the SoundField SP451 processor and Surround Zone plug-in. The SP451 processor will take B-Format inputs and simultaneously deliver L, C, R, SL, SR, LFE and a separate Left/Right stereo output all on balanced XLR connectors, with individual level controls and meters. The Surround Zone plug-in does all this and in addition provides the Rotate, Tilt and Zoom manipulation contained within the MKV processor.

This enables the SoundField to become a true 5.1 microphone. For more information on this, click here to go to the SP451 and Surround Zone pages.
