What makes music and audio experience truly special are emotions. A skilled sound engineer with the right gear will be able to capture and pass them on to listeners. The less equipment a professional has to use the more natural effect of recordings. With ZYLIA PRO there is no need for a separate microphone for each sound source. The 3rd order Ambisonic microphone captures an entire 360° audio sphere and a dedicated, professional software allows to manipulate Virtual Microphones' polar patterns and positions in already recorded material. Mobile and easy in use solution for all sound engineers.

Comparison between mono, stereo, and binaural from Ambisonics
|
|
This video showcases the difference between three sound reproduction techniques – mono, stereo and binaural from Ambisonics.
Notice how at the beginning the audio is like a point in the middle, then it gains more spaciousness by changing to stereo, and finally – it surrounds you from every side when it’s binaural. Binaural audio lets you experience the recorded moments so naturally, as if you were there – such realistic reproduction cannot be achieved with standard recording techniques. |

It's super easy to configure, nice response on the spectrum for ambiance. Mariano Jose Garcia Lopez - sound engineer |
