Default Ambiophonics

Ambiophonics is not Ambisonics. In Ambiophonics, you use the existing stereo recordings.

I have similarly confused with Ambisonics and Ambiophonics.

I find that most recordings are not made correctly. That's why they

don't sound right. Two channel Ambisonics uses a microphone setup that

is fairly close to a coincident pair, except that it is made up of a

series of mikes arranged in a "spherical" configuration consisting of 3

figure-of-eight microphones and an omnidirectional microphone. By

matrix-mixing these four mikes, many different pickup patterns are

possible. A special Ambisonics mike used to be available with it's own

matrixing controller called a "soundfield" mike. But I don't know if

that's still true. The two channel Ambisonics can be approximated by

using a pair of figure-of-eight mikes in an X-Y configuration.
