Zoom H3-VR Handy Audio Recorder with Built-In Ambisonics Mic Array
Whether you’re a game developer, filmmaker, or musician, virtual reality is the undeniable future of content creation. While 360-video is exploding in popularity, the ability to easily create 360 audio has lagged behind…until now.
The H3-VR’s compact, the conical design captures audio from multiple angles without getting in the way of the camera or the action.
Auto Mic Position and Level Detection make placing the H3-VR simple. Whether positioned upright, upside down, endfire, or endfire inverted, the H3-VR automatically calibrates so your audio and video are already aligned for the post.
The slam of dungeon doors, the growl of monsters, or the howl of the wind can make or break a player’s fantasy. With the ability to capture high-quality in-game audio, you can elevate your player’s experience to new levels.
Monitor your audio live in stereo binaural or use the H3-VR’s onboard Ambisonics Decoding to simulate your recorded 360-experience during playback
