The SRND 360 is an innovative, versatile and very compact single-unit surround microphone that records up to six channels simultaneously using only three microphone capsules.
A separate processing unit uses the signals from the microphone to create three additional "virtual" capsules in-between the physical ones. The result is six cardioid pickup patterns at 60 degree spacing which can be mixed down to a number of different formats, e.g. 5.1, 6.1 or 2.1.
Another rather unique feature for a surround system is that nothing has been compromised in sound quality to achieve the surround function. The SRND 360 is based on the same capsule and amplifier as the DC-196 and DC-96C, so connecting only one of the capsules turns the SRND 360 into a conventional large-membrane condenser and it will do a wonderful job on vocals, guitars etc.
Surround recordings used to be an exclusive treat for esoterics with lots of dough. This is all history thanks to the Milab SRND 360: For the price of a decent mono microphone you get an absolute high-end surround microphone – easily connected and with an absolutely pure tone – which races the pulse of every true musician!
Verdict: Mic of the Year!
Review in Soundcheck (Germany)
February 2008 Made for eternity.
Super stable, absolutely compact, well-sounding, low-noise, inexpensive, well-packaged surround and stereo recording system!
Review in CUT Magazine (Germany)
October 2008 Tonally, the SRND 360 sounds extremely solid.
...the SRND 360 proved fabolous at generating rock-solid imaging when played back in 5.1…
Neat and compact; easy to use and set up; flexible enough to work in a number of stereo and surround configurations; big sound and tight imaging.
Review in Resolution (UK)
May 2009 To me this combination of the fantastic 'life-like' quality of the SRND combined with the enormous flexibility it brings to surround AND stereo-recordings makes it truly one of my favourites.
