IRT Cross
Ambient/ Surround Recording Array:
Mounting Bars for “IRT Cross“ CB 250, CB 200
The IRT microphone cross is an arrangement for ambient recording. Its primary characteristic is a transparent and spacious rendering of the acoustic environment. It is useful as a four-channel arrangement for room tone for example in combination with the OCT surround system. 
With certain restrictions the IRT microphone cross can also be used for full surround (e.g. 360° cinema sound recording or for other playback arrangements in which the speakers are placed in the four corners of a square).
The CB 250 is the version which more closely approximates the theoretical ideal, while the CB 200 is the original, somewhat smaller version. 
Distance between the microphones:
CB 250: 25 cm
CB 200: 20 cm
CB 140 (version for supercardioids): 14 cm
IRT crosses CB 250, CB 200:

4x supercardioids CCM 41/ CCM 41V
or MK 41/ MK 41V with Active KC Cable |

A modified form of IRT Cross exists for supercardioids as well. Since the distance between microphones is only 140 mm, the cross itself is distinctly smaller. |
