The company I use to work in UK(AVS) surrey use to own the patent to ambisonic.
I use to design some filters to it.Although AVS is mainly into top end
broadcast manufacturing .
To hear this you have to buy the decoder first.It is bit like early days
quadrophonic receivers. Another thing is you need 4-ch amplifiers as well.Not
2-ch amps multiplexed.
We developed car units first,but we found time we spend was not worth so we
sold the rights to some co in croyden.
I still got one of those 4-ch car amps at home.
