The precision quad microphone array has been acoustically designed due to its efficient decoupling mechanism and powered by studio quality sound processing/DSP.
There are four tailored ‘user modes’: Solo Mode, Group Mode, Vocal Mode, and Music Mode. All four modes feature an advanced immersive recording setting, which allows users to access each of the four individual mic sources for the purpose of immersive and spatial recordings or broadcasts.

The headphone output also has a loopback option, which is useful for ambient 'room' monitoring. An intelligent touch-sensitive interface at the top of the unit provides options to adjust headphone levels, microphone muting, 'push-to talk' and the ability to cycle through the four different DSP settings, as well as accessing immersive mode.
