Today, ‘ab Decoder HOA’ is getting a MASSIVE update - version 5.0 is out!

What’s new?
- A better decoding algorithm.

For ‘ab Decoder HOA’ v5.0, we have rewritten the decoding algorithm for higher-order signals. Offering much more focused beams in all orders from 2OA to 7OA!

- Custom Polar Patterns
When used in “manual mode”, ‘ab Decoder HOA’ v5.0 now offers control over the polar pattern of your speaker layout! You can now select figure-of-eight, supercardioid, hypercardioid, cardioid and whatever exists in between with the touch of a slider, offering more control and creativity when decoding your ambisonics signals!

If you already own ‘ab Decoder HOA’, this update comes to you at no cost!
