Nordic Audio Labs NU-880K Black Surround Microphone

The NU-880K is a multichannel, horizontal, native B-format microphone with three outputs (WXY).

It can be used as a mono, stereo or surround microphone over a wide range of applications. Using simple mixing or a dedicated plugin the desired pickup polar patterns and angles can be dialled in, even after the fact, in mixing or post production.

Any number of virtual microphones can be created from the same recorded signal so the micro- phone can perform the duties of a mono cardioid vocal microphone, Blumlein stereo mic and a 5.1 surround ambience microphone, even simultaneously.

The most important feature of the 880K is that this flexibility is achieved without compromising any aspect of sound quality.

The microphone comes with a case, cradle, 5-pin XLR cable and a break-out box with three standard phantom powered (microphone level) XLR outputs.
