Blackmagic made a USB-C mic for spatial audio.
The $1,695 Blackmagic Ambisonic Microphone will be available in December. It features 108 digital MEMS mics, a built-in spatial encoder, uses Apple’s array geometry and ambisonic encoding filters, and doesn’t require any drivers or plug-ins — you just connect it directly into an iPhone, computer, or Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive camera to start recording three-dimensional audio.
