The “ORTF Surround” recording method is a new system for the pickup of surround ambience.
This microphone arrangement and its sonic characteristics are quite similar to those of the well-known “IRT Cross“ designed by Günther Theile. Both the 360° imaging and the spatial impression are of optimal quality. This is achieved with a high degree of signal separation among channels, based both on arrival-time differences and level differences.
The ORTF Surround Outdoor Set has been successfully used for major sporting events for many years..
ORDER NUMBER: No. 175204
Features:
· outdoor plug and play solution for surround ambience
· optimal imaging characteristics like those of the “IRT Cross”: good 360° imaging with a pleasant, natural-sounding spatial impression
· uses four SCHOEPS CCM 41 L or CMC 1 L + MK 41 supercardioids (included)
· applications: sporting events, film sound, etc.
· with internal heating
Practice:
The ORTF Surround arrangement has been designed to be mounted conveniently in a single elastic suspension and to share a single windscreen.
It differs from the IRT Cross arrangement in being rectangular rather than square. Its pickup regions are correctly apportioned through careful choice of the angles and distances among the microphones. The WSC ORTF Surround is part of the ORTF Surround Set. This is a “plug and play” solution for surround ambience.
It comprises:
· 4 * No. 121017: CCM 41 L compact microphones
· No. 175207: WSC ORTF Surround H, windshield with suspensions, fur, cabling and internal heating
· No. 152408: K Surround 20 M: a 20-meter, four-way Binder multi-core cable
· No. 152402: AK Surround H M/4U: a splitter cable with heating supply
· No. 222003: Waterproff "MAX" Plastic Case
The CCM 41 L can alternatively be replaced with CMC 1 L + MK 41.
Variants & Options:
Instead of or in addition to the fur is also available a matching rain cover to the wind basket, which reliably dampens rain impact noise and drains the rainwater.
Instead of the CCM microphones, microphones consisting of a CMC 1 L amplifier and an MK capsule are also suitable. The ORTF Surround Outdoor Set can alternatively be ordered in this modular form.
