5 Channel Microphone Array Design for SURROUND SOUND COVERAGE using SUPERCARDIOID Microphones

FTC 80° + 80° (80°/ 25.5cm)

The third stage in the MMAD process is to choose the proportion of Back Pair Coverage to the Lateral Segment Coverage.Using a Front Triplet Coverage of 100° + 100°, there are many different LSC / BPC configurations possible. The diagram on the right shows the colour coding used to represent the reproduction within the recommended Multichannel Loudspeaker Configuration of each segment covered by the microphone array. Click on the required LSC / BPC configuration to go to the last stage in the MMAD process.

LSC 55° / BPC 90°
