3Dio OMNI Pro Binaural Microphone

Overview

The 3Dio Omni Pro binaural microphone is specifically designed to provide you with professional binaural audio for Virtual Reality and 360 degrees camera applications. The unit consists of 4 pairs of ears, each one is pointed 90 degrees from the adjacent pair which then provides a single point, 4 position binaural perspective of any audio equipment.

Integrated DPA 4060 capsules

The 3Dio Omni Pro comes with four sets of matched, integrated DPA 4060 capsules that are mounted at the opening of each ear canal. The Omni Pro delivers very sensitive and natural-sounding binaural recordings. The extremely low noise floor of the DP 4060 capsules results in very open and dynamic binaural realism, especially during those very delicate recording moments. Such sensitivity coupled with the wide dynamic range of the microphone capsules makes the Omni Pro the perfect choice and tool for 360-degree camera recordings and binaural reality capture. Additionally, the Omni Pro microphone can be used to provide binaural localisation/orientation freedom for audio engineers. Simply place it where you want it, hit record, and binaurally/positionally mix your audio sources in post.
