SoundField Introduces DSF-1 Music Surround Mic System

During AES 2007 in New York, U.K. microphone manufacturer SoundField will introduce the DSF-1 music surround music mic system designed just for music recording. Building upon the commercial success of the DSF-2 Broadcast Mic System, the DSF-1 Music Surround Mic System incorporates SoundField's unique technology that enables the high-resolution capture of ambient or image critical music events that must ultimately fit a variety of delivery formats—from the traditional stereo to esoteric multi-channel formats.

The DSF-1 can deliver mono, stereo, 5.1, 6.1 and 7.1 and B format, the archival medium for future formats, all without ever leaving the digital domain. The SoundField DSF-1 eliminates the struggle recording engineers face finding a simple, easy-to-use microphone system and technique that avoids the phase error problems associated with all other multi-mic or multi-channel microphone systems.

The DSF-1, which is comprised of a SoundField microphone and a digital output preamp/processor, interfaces seamlessly with recording industry standard hardware and protocols. In addition to selectable 48/96/192kHz output sample rates, the DSF-1 can also output audio at the CD mastering standard of 44.1kHz, as well as 88.2kHz and 176.4kHz. Both word clock input and output are provided as standard. Like the DSF-2, the DSF-1 Music Surround Mic System allows users to: change the microphone pickup pattern remotely from the preamp; effectively rotate and invert the mic without physically handling it; precisely adjust the angle or width of the final output in stereo or surround; and deliver the final output in mono, stereo, Mid-Side, or surround sound.

SoundField proprietary software called Surround Zone® is available for use with all common DAWs, such as Digidesign Pro Tools, Steinberg Nuendo, and SADiE, so that all of these adjustments can be made in post-production. The DSF-1 is a perfect solution for capturing performances by artists of international standing in world-class concert venues where imaging of the recording is important.
