The simplest way to go from A to B.

‘ab Transcoder’ is a very small tool that will help you convert Ambisonics audio files from one format to another.

Whether you recorded your audio with a SoundField, Ambeo, Zoom, Soyuz, or any other 1st Order A-FORMAT microphone, this plugin simplifies the need to install several different plugins from different manufacturers - anything goes, in a transparent, easy, and quick manner.

The plugin was designed so that you could do your thing in a couple of seconds, and then move on to what’s important!

Simply select your Signal type INPUT and your destination OUTPUT, and ‘ab Transcoder’ will do the rest for you! That simple.

‘Profile’ algorithms were added to enhance your needs - from a zero-latency MONITOR profile for when you are recording, to custom-made quality profiles specifically designed for your Ambisonics microphone

In QUALITY Mode, aside from a BALANCED profile that should fit most Ambisonics Microphones, we’ve created custom profiles specifically designed for the most common Ambisonics Microphones. Currently, custom profiles exist for:
Soyuz Ambisonic 013

SOYUZ AMBISONIC 013A
RODE NT-SF1
Sennheiser AMBEO
Saramonic SR-VRM1
Zoom H3-VR

Additionally, a Mic Orientation control is also available in case your microphone was sideways or upside down at the moment of recording.

ab Transcoder can convert any A-FORMAT (types I or II), FUMA or AMBIX signals to AMBIX or FUMA.

This plugin is ONLY compatible with 1st Order Ambisonics A-FORMAT and B-FORMAT signals.

‘ab Transcoder’ also comes with a ‘smart troubleshooting’ algorithm, which will check your signal chain and let you know if something is wrong with it.

Three-way microphone orientation

ab Transcoder comes with an orientation control - in case you recorded your signal using your microphone upside-down, or horizontally, we got you covered!
