Overview
NYC Ambisonics is a library of New York City ambiences recorded with a SoundField microphone. Bring the city to life in your projects with 53 lifelike city backgrounds in 24-bit/96kHz high-resolution totaling nearly 7 hours. Explore Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens with bustling city streets, public parks, crowd walla, subway rides and more.
All recordings are provided in both stereo and Ambisonic B-format (FuMa).
