Rode ribbon microphones are designed to give the most accurate of frequency and detail reproduction, therefore of particular use in recording studios where the capture of nuances is important.
NT-SF1 - Ambisonic, 360-degree cardioid, condenser
Rode 'SoundField' NT-SF1 is an ambisonic microphone that captures broadcast-quality 360-degree surround sound, designed for use in VR, sound design, immersive audio, and experimental recording applications. The microphone comprises of 4x Rode TF-45C half-inch, true-condenser cardioid microphone capsules arranged in a tetrahedral array.
NT-SF1 is the first collaboration between SoundField (who invented the first commercial ambisonic microphone) and Rode. NT-SF1 records the entire spherical sound field - sound from all directions - in A-Format audio, which can be converted to B-Format audio and then manipulated infinitely using the 'Soundfield by Rode' plug-in. Using the plug-in the user is able to alter the microphone's directivity, position, and rotation after recording; create a full 7.1.4 surround mix; and create a fully head-tracked 360-degree soundscape for immersive video.
