Morten Lindberg has produced 50 GRAMMY nominations with 2L since 2006, 42 of these in craft categories Best Engineered Album, Best Surround Sound Album, Best Immersive Audio Album and Producer of the Year, and won the award for Best Immersive Audio Album at the GRAMMYs in 2020 and 2026.
The 2L-cube, developed by Morten Lindberg for the 2L music production company, is a direct result of the speaker configuration in immersive playback systems. The array preserves the time of arrival, SPL, and on-axis HF texture as it develops in a real room. True omnidirectional microphones offer a linear and extended frequency response, which is crucial for our perception of auditory envelopment.
Microphone techniques are constantly evolving. Initially, the 2L-cube represented the 5.1.4 configuration during the early stages of Auro-3D. Later, it was expanded with side-fills to accommodate 7.1.4 and stretched into a 2L-prism, with the sides serving as surrounds and the surrounds sliding further back to become rears. The typical dimensions of this configuration are one meter wide, two meters deep, and one meter high. The simplicity of the concept assigns one microphone to each speaker, where the fundamental principle is always to configure the array so that the time of arrival is captured and released in a natural order.
