ORTF-3D, 8 micsStereo version included3–5 min per sound

Strengthen your productions with characteristic, intimate and authentic European city ambiences — an essential companion to Urban USA.

The sounds come without much action in the foreground, giving a very clear and detailed acoustic image of each environment: the background layer that breaks the silence in a post production project rather than competing with it.

Generic and specificA large selection of generic ambiences to blend into many contexts, alongside specifically recognisable locations delivered with maximum authenticity
Frame your sceneAmbiences establish the mood of a scene, level or location — chosen here from a large, well categorised pool

MileageThe average sound is 3–5 minutes long
The seriesSits between Urban USA outdoors and Room Tones Europe indoors
04What 3D Surround Meansthe technique▾
High-precision sound locationConventional surround often leaves a diffuse image of the source; 3D Surround draws a crystal-clear picture of where a sound comes from and where it moves
The third dimensionA height layer is added, so sound reaches the ear from above as well as from the side — better localisation and a far more immersive image
The setupThe highly-acclaimed SCHOEPS ORTF-3D setup: a cuboid eight-channel level and time difference ambience array of supercardioid microphones
Choose your angleThe library works just as well in stereo: either pick the listening angle yourself, or take the stereo version included in the 3D edition

Europe does not sound like one place. Ten countries were recorded because a square in one of them will not pass for a square in another — and an audience notices that long before it can say why.
