 Hi guys
 
 We have recently decided to record nature in ambisonic format with a
 additional specific mono and stereo recordings added in at edit stage.
 
 I would be interested in current ambisonic mic choice, we don't have
>>> loads
 of cash but want to get as transparent a sound field as possible.
 
 We have all had experience over the last 30 years or so of using standard
 mics and have our favourites for particular situations but have never had
 experience of usi g ambisonic mics and relevant field recorders.
 
 Advice welcome
 
 Drew

[Sursound] Ambisonic Sound Stage in Vermont- Need Advise!

[Scott Wood]

Greetings!
I have been following this group for several years and recently renovated a 
barn which has allowed me to consider setting up a Surround Sound Stage for 
playback and recording. I recently was did a workshop with Chris Watson from 
the UK where we used a Schoeps DMS set up, a DPA 5100 Surround, a Senn Ambio 
and a Soundfield MK2 ambisonic microphone. I have been motivated to move 
forward on setting up my speaker array and related hardware, but I am an 
architect and not a recording engineer and realize that I need some help with 
this!! 
I live about 3 hours south of Montreal, and 30 min north of Hanover, NH in 
Newbury, Vermont, and am wondering if there is anyone out there who might be 
able to advise/assist me in setting up an ambisonic speaker array/system in my 
barn. The would be done on a professional basis up to a point as this is a non 
commercial venture at this point. 
So, I hope this isn't too vague but if there is anyone out there who might be 
able to help with this project, I would greatly appreciate hearing from you and 
your advice!
Best
Scott WoodNewbury, Vermont
