ZYLIA

Brands:ZYLIA PRO, ZYLIA 6DoF for VR/AR/Game Audio, ZYLIA Volumetric Audio Recording | ZYLIA – Redefining Spatial Audio Capture for the Modern Creator Founded with a passion for true 3D sound capture, ZYLIA is a pioneering audio technology company dedicated to transforming how sound is recorded, analyzed, and experienced. At the heart of our innovation lies a simple insight: sound is inherently spatial. Yet traditional microphones capture only a fraction of the richness present in real acoustic environments. ZYLIA’s mission is to bridge that gap by delivering intuitive tools that capture complete, immersive audio with exceptional accuracy—empowering creators, engineers, and researchers worldwide. At the core of ZYLIA’s product ecosystem is the ZYLIA ZM-1, a compact spherical microphone designed for full 3D audio capture in a single take. Featuring a unique 19-capsule array and advanced DSP algorithms, the ZM-1 records sound from all directions simultaneously, preserving spatial information that traditional microphones cannot capture. This approach allows users to freely reposition virtual microphones during post-production, making the ZM-1 a powerful tool for music recording, sound design, research, and immersive audio production. For demanding outdoor and industrial environments, ZYLIA offers the ZM-1 Weatherproof, a ruggedized version of the spherical microphone engineered for reliable operation in changing weather conditions. This solution enables high-quality spatial audio capture for field recording, environmental monitoring, outdoor events, and research applications where durability and precision must go hand in hand. Beyond recording, ZYLIA provides advanced tools for spatial audio processing and analysis. ZYLIA 6DoF enables six-degrees-of-freedom audio rendering, allowing sound to dynamically respond to listener movement and position. This technology is particularly valuable for VR, AR, XR, and immersive installations, where realistic spatial perception is essential to the user experience. ZYLIA’s expertise in acoustics is further reflected in the ZYLIA Speaker Measurement Software (ZYLIA SMS). Designed for fast and intuitive loudspeaker calibration in immersive studios, ZYLIA SMS delivers accurate measurements and AI-powered acoustic analysis. By capturing full sound radiation patterns quickly and reliably, the software addresses the complexities of immersive audio, offering an automated and intelligent solution for creating truly translatable mixes. Complementing this ecosystem is the ZYLIA Beamformer, a powerful software tool that enables sound source separation and directional audio extraction from Ambisonics recordings up to 7th order. By virtually steering microphone beams after recording, users gain precise control over focus, noise reduction, and spatial clarity—capabilities valued in post-production, live recording analysis, and research environments. What distinguishes ZYLIA is not only technological innovation, but also a strong focus on accessibility and usability. Our solutions integrate seamlessly into existing workflows, support industry-standard formats, and remain intuitive for both seasoned professionals and newcomers to spatial audio. With users in universities, research institutions, production studios, and technology companies worldwide, ZYLIA continues to push the boundaries of spatial sound—shaping the future of immersive recording and acoustic analysis. ZYLIA — Capture sound in its full spatial dimension.

Z&H Designs

Z&H Designs originated in 2018. It took 5 years of R&D before the first commercially viable model came out, leading to the brand’s official launch in 2024. Today, Z&H is based in the United Kingdom, continuing its mission to create premium, handcrafted pro audio gear for modern studios. Z&H Designs is rooted in a global community of audio engineers. Over 30 engineers from the UK, EU, and US participated in the development and testing of Z&H’s models, providing feedback on aesthetic presentation and hardware performance. The community included several Grammy Award winners and many content creators specializing in Hip-hop, Reggae, Soul, Pop, Jazz, Rock, and other genres. As a result, Z&H has gained deep insights into diverse markets for pro audio gear. Apart from analog technicians, Z&H gathered a team of talented music producers and audio engineers in-house. Each design stays for one year in our commercial studio, undergoing rigorous testing on high-budget projects. Before a model gets launched, it would have been listened to by a million ears to ensure it meets both pro audio standards and audience approval.
