ORTF-3D, 8 micsStereo version included3–11 min per file

The first title of the 3D Surround series, and the perfect fit for 3D urban ambient scenes — indoor and outdoor subway areas, train stations, highways, parks, fountains, urban beaches and much more.

File durations vary from 3 to 11 minutes, for more flexibility and fewer repetitions in a design. The library carries both detailed sound scenes and quiet basic layers, so a city can be founded and then furnished.

03The Whole Range of a Citywhat is covered▾
Bustling downtownSubway stations, financial districts, marinas and construction sites — cranes, skid loaders, air pumps, sirens and walla
The quieter sideBeaches, parks and suburbs, with children, fountains, bicycles and boats
Two kinds of materialRich, expressive sound scenes for spot-on design, plus quiet base layers to build the sonic foundation of an urban scene on
Where it was recordedVibrant and lively American metropolises, captured in many different places to give an extraordinary variety
The seriesContinued indoors by Room Tones Europe, which covers rooms rather than streets
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
What it gives youA clearer representation of spatial depth, a more natural surround impression, improved envelopment and an authentic feel

A city is not one sound but a distance. Eight microphones and eleven minutes are what let a siren pass overhead rather than simply appear in the mix.
