NU-880K: Wide-diaphragm surround microphone for immersive recordings

The Nordic Audio Labs NU-880K is a native B-format horizontal multichannel microphone designed to offer unique flexibility in the professional microphone arena. Equipped with three outputs (WXY), it can be used in mono, stereo or surround configurations, depending on the needs of the project.

Creative flexibility in mix and post-production

Complete control of directions and patterns even after recording

Using dedicated plugins or simple mixing techniques, angles and directionality can be defined even in post-production. Multiple virtual microphones can be generated from a single recording: cardioid for vocals, stereo Blumlein or even a 5.1 surround configuration, all from a single source.

Uncompromising sound quality

Naturalness of sound in the service of emotion

The real strength of the NU-880K is its flexibility without any compromise on sound quality. It returns an extremely realistic sound scene, rich in emotion and detail. The audio is fully processable while maintaining a natural rendering that often makes all processing unnecessary.

The ultimate immersive microphone

The NU-880K is the ideal choice for those seeking faithful, three-dimensional sound rendering. It is probably the closest solution to the "being there" feeling ever achieved in the microphone field.
