       December 1, 2008, Montreal, Canada -- AuSIM delivers the innovative Acoustic Measurement Microphone Array and Robot (AMMAR) to McGill University's Music Technology Program. The device is designed to capture the propagation of sound away from a musical instrument in all directions. The instrument can be excited by either a human standing on the stage or by an appropriate mechanism (i.e. air-pressure source). The instrument is rotated over time and the full-sphere is captured. The appartus consists of 72 microphone elements (64 on a semi-circular arc and 8 on a positioning hand) and 3-axis of remote-controllable positioning. The robotic system was designed, developed, and delivered by Cito Systems.  |
