NU-880K

NU-880K

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 a dedicated plugin or simple mixing, the desired pickup polar patterns and aiming 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 microphone 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 NU-880K is that this flexibility is achieved without compromising any aspect of sound quality. All the special sonic attributes of the entire range apply, big reality, as much emotion as the performance actually had, and eminently processable audio that doesn’t cave if pushed are the results. Although you probably won’t want to process it much, if at all. This microphone might be the closest thing to ‘being there’ that you have ever heard. 

The NU-880K comes with a case, cradle, 5-pin XLR cable and a break-out box with three standard phantom powered (microphone level) XLR outputs.
