In Part 1<\/a><\/span>\u00a0of this test\u00a0I discussed the individual bits and pieces as well as the\u00a0setup of the custom Schoeps CCM 41 4-Microphone Surround Sound Cross. In Part 2 I will show you the resulting 360 video as well as what the microphones look like when they are being used for recording surround sound in a 360 video shoot.<\/p>\n

To test the setup I went out into a nearby hiking area and then came back to a typical street in the little village of Mendt-Irmeroth in Buchholz, Germany where I currently live. The following pictures and videos show you the results. At the end\u00a0you will find\u00a0a sample video and the accompanying 4 audio tracks for download so you can do your own experimentation with these files.<\/p>\n

The first picture shows you the setup of the F360 and the Schoeps Surround Sound Cross in a forest setting. I shot a 360 video here but later decided that it was a bit too dark for the purpose of evaluating the patch footprint of the setup. I still thought this would be good so you can see what the setup looks like ‘in the wild’ (pun intended).<\/p>\n\"Schoeps\n

I then moved to a more open area with more light. Below is a video that shows you a 360 photo of the location with the microphones in place. this really gives you a good idea of how much more ‘dead zone’ the Surround Sound Cross occupies as compared to the mini tripod that is usually the only thing that shows up in the 360 videos.\u00a0As\u00a0an\u00a0unscientific observation I would think that we only occupy\u00a0about 25% more space than would normally\u00a0be occupied\u00a0by the Manfrotto 209\u00a0mini tripod that I\u00a0use for the Freedom 360 rig. I don’t just provide a screenshot here on purpose because that would be out of context. The microphone cross has to be seen in comparison to the rest of the scene.<\/p>\n
