EIGENMIKE

The earlier version of the Eigenmike microphone - the em32 - was the first commercially available higher resolution spatial microphone. After over 10 years on the market it is now superseded by the em64... A spatial microphone records the sound field surrounding the microphone rather than just the sound at a point in space. This enables the sound engineer to explore and edit the soundfield recording, adding many more degrees of freedom compared to traditional sound recording.
