3Dio Microphones in Field Recording
Capture the Natural World in 3Dio Binaural Audio
Finally, the perfect microphone for field recordists is here. Whether you're capturing the sounds of the ocean, a hummingbird in flight, singing cicadas, or the rumbling of a busy city street, there's nothing better than a 3Dio binaural microphone. The fact is that simple stereo recording devices don't capture sound as well as your own ears do. Full dummy head microphones aren't very portable for traveling field recordists and while in-ear microphone options are great, they're not very practical for professionals looking to achieve an ultra-quiet signal without picking up the rustling of clothes, footsteps, breathing, etc. The portable, light-weight and highly affordable 3Dio FS series microphones are the perfect solution for every field recordist.

What our customers are saying...
"The sound the 3Dio produced was, what I can only describe as an altered state of consciousness! I can put headphones on even now, listen to the recordings of the jungle, and I'm transported right back to the moment I recorded the sound. I'm beyond thrilled with the setup.”

"Glorious perfection to hear the recorded sound in a DAW actually sound like it does in the room”
- John Andrew Schneider
Emmy Award Winning Composer, Arranger, Engineer & Producer
“The technology provided by 3Dio was critical in creating a truthful representation of psychosis and voice hearing in Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice. Without binaural audio, we wouldn’t have been able to achieve such a compelling and thought provoking experience.”
- Francesca Mead
Product Manager - Ninja Theory Games
"Highly recommended for those serious about binaural recordings."

3Dio Microphones in the Amazon Rainforest of Brazil
When filmmaker Justus Lowry reached out to us about a documentary his team is filming in the Amazon Rainforest about the history of cacao, we immediately wanted to be involved. Filming along the Rio Purus, he and his team captured the sights and sounds within the heart of the jungle. You can almost feel the wind on your face as it rustles the leaves all around you. At night, the forest is very much alive with the sounds of cicadas, crickets, and frogs resonating through the trees.
Put on headphones and explore the exotic and mesmerizing sounds of the jungles of Brazil. The audio in this video was captured with a 3Dio FS Pro II Microphone.
