Description
The Zoom H3-VR Audio Recorder is a compact audio recorder with a built-in Ambisonics mic array with 4 microphone capsules, offering flexible 360° audio capture as well as integrated Ambisonics A-to-B conversion. This eliminates the need for an external recorder while the four microphone capsules (which can be utilized to record in Ambisonics, stereo binaural, or standard stereo modes) make it well suited for detailed reproduction of studio-based instrument ensembles and solo performances, audiences, sound effects, EFP, and more.
