The core of my work is as a practitioner, but I also find joy in sharing my experience with the next generation of our craft. For the workshops I bring a matched set of DPA Microphones 4041 and 4006, and a Grace Design SB-3D11, for the students to explore the 2L-cube microphone array themselves.

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.
