Unmatched Versatility in Recording
This microphone adapts effortlessly to mono, stereo, and surround setups, making it perfect for various audio applications without compromising on quality.
KEY FEATURES
The Nordic Audio Lab NU-880K FloFET™ is a highly versatile multi-channel surround microphone system designed for professional recording, immersive audio and spatial sound applications. Now upgraded with Nordic Audio Labs’ innovative FloFET™ circuit technology, the NU-880K retains its renowned neutral frequency response while delivering an enhanced sonic character, establishing it as the flagship microphone system within the FloFET™ range.
Native B-Format Recording for Mono, Stereo & Surround
Built around a horizontal native B-format design, the NU-880K provides three WXY outputs and offers exceptional flexibility for mono, stereo, surround and immersive recording. Rather than committing to a fixed microphone configuration at the recording stage, engineers can shape the microphone’s pickup patterns and angles during post-production, providing far greater control over the finished recording.
Create Multiple Virtual Microphones from a Single Recording
This flexibility allows a single NU-880K recording to produce an almost unlimited number of virtual microphone configurations. The same captured performance can simultaneously be decoded as a mono cardioid microphone, Blumlein stereo pair and 5.1 surround ambience array, alongside numerous other polar pattern and stereo configurations.
This makes the NU-880K particularly well suited to applications ranging from music and classical recording to film, broadcast, ambience capture and immersive audio production.
Upgraded with Nordic Audio Labs FloFET™ Technology
At the heart of the latest NU-880K is FloFET™ technology, Nordic Audio Labs’ advanced microphone circuit design. The upgrade preserves the microphone system’s characteristic accuracy and neutral frequency response while introducing an even more refined and desirable sonic character.
With FloFET™ circuitry now extending throughout the Nordic Audio Labs microphone family, the NU-880K represents the flagship implementation of the technology.
Includes a Perpetual Harpex-X Plug-In Licence
To unlock the full capabilities of the microphone, the NU-880K FloFET™ includes a perpetual Harpex-X plug-in licence. Harpex-X provides powerful processing and decoding options for B-format recordings, allowing engineers to explore the NU-880K’s extensive spatial and virtual microphone possibilities directly within their post-production workflow.
Complete Professional Microphone System
The NU-880K FloFET™ is supplied as a complete professional microphone system, including a protective case, microphone cradle, 5-pin XLR cable and breakout box. The breakout box provides three standard phantom-powered, microphone-level XLR outputs for straightforward integration with professional microphone preamps, audio interfaces and recording systems.
A Flexible Solution for Immersive & Spatial Audio Recording
Combining native B-format recording, flexible post-production polar pattern control, FloFET™ circuit technology and Harpex-X processing, the Nordic Audio Lab NU-880K FloFET™ provides an exceptionally adaptable solution for engineers who need uncompromising sound quality across mono, stereo, surround and immersive audio production.
