Zoom released the new v4.0 firmware for their F8 recorder today. It 
features support for first-order ambisonic microphones, including 
TetraMic.


We recommend using the F8's "Ambisonics A" mode. That mode configures 
the F8 to record TetraMic's four A-format tracks, while also allowing 
you to monitor in real-time via speakers or headphones.


By recording in A-format you'll retain the ability to apply your 
TetraMic's unique calibration files. Those files make your TetraMic into 
one of the world's finest ambisonic microphones. But even monitoring 
without the calibration files, TetraMic is pretty fine.


At first listen, the Zoom monitoring function decode seems to be XY 
using two virtual cardioid microphones. We haven't measured the patterns 
yet, so we can't tell you what angle they selected between the virtual 
microphones.
