Schoeps Indoor ORTF Surround System

The “ORTF Surround” Schoeps 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.

• 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 supercardioids (included)
• applications: sporting events, film sound, etc.

The ORTF Surround Indoor Set comprises:

• 4 * No: 121017: CCM 41 L, supercardioid compact microphones
• No. 154003: ORTF Surround Bar LM: a four-way “ORTF Surround Bar“ terminated with a Surround multi-pin connector (AES-65)
• No. RYC-041107: Rycote Invision INV-7: an elastic suspension
• No: 152407: K Surround 5 M: a 5-meter, four-way Binder multi-core cable
• No. 152403: AK Surround M/4U: an adapter cable (Multipin / 4 × XLR-3M)

When working indoors, the ORTF Surround Indoor Set is used without windscreen. If a moderate degree of wind protection should be required, a B 5 D foam windscreen can be placed over each microphone separately.
