Zylia Standard & Pro Set

This little alien is actually a multi-channel condenser microphone which allows you to record multiple instruments at once to and automatically separate them to individual tracks! Sounds too good to be true right? With a quick calibration and sound check it does the job really well. So much faster than setting up multiple mics around the room! The Zylia mic is available in two sets, Standard and Pro, the later including ​the complete software set (ZYLIA Studio PRO, ZYLIA Ambisonics Converter​ and ​ZYLIA Ambisonics Converter plugin).
