AB  - Nimbus Records has been recording live musical performances in surround for almost 40 years, using a special single-point microphone array. From vinyl to CD and now high-resolution DVD releases, their technique employs a soundfield capture approach that is virtually unique in the commercial recording world. This paper describes how and why Nimbus Records makes recordings in this way, and how it has used the wide availability of home theatre systems to deliver speaker feeds decoded from Ambisonic material on hybrid DVD-V / DVD-A discs.
