FREMONT, Calif.âBlackmagic Design today announced the Blackmagic Ambisonic Microphone, a new professional microphone that captures true spatial audio for immersive video production.
The Blackmagic Ambisonic Microphone is a 7th order ambisonic microphone array featuring 108 digital MEMS microphones that capture the entire sound field. The MEMS microphones are mounted flush in a solid, faceted metal body, making the design extremely strong for professional use while remaining small enough to be handheld or mounted on top of a camera.
All the processing is built into the Blackmagic Ambisonic Microphone. An internal processor running Apple’s advanced encoding filters, converts the audio from all 108 MEMS microphones to 7th order ambisonics in real-time. That means customers donât need complex encoding software or a breakout box to capture professional spatial audio, the company said.
The microphone connects and is powered using a single USB-C cable, and because itâs class compliant there are no drivers or plug-ins to install. Customers can mount it on top of Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive, plug it in, and begin capturing spatial audio for Apple Immersive content. The spatial audio records directly into the cameraâs immersive files, all in perfect sync.
Customers can also connect the Blackmagic Ambisonic Microphone to a computer and record and mix in real-time with Fairlight Live, or record directly to iPhone using the Blackmagic Camera app. There will also be a USB to SMPTE-2110 converter available for advanced broadcast workflows.
âThis microphone started when we were collaborating with Apple on the Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive camera. I heard a high resolution spatial audio capture for the first time and it was like hearing an acoustic reality, I was totally blown away,â said Grant Petty, Blackmagic Design CEO. âApple licensed their array geometry and the ambisonic encoding filters, we did the engineering and design, and the result is an ambisonic microphone where you just plug in one cable and capture true spatial audio.â
The Blackmagic Ambisonic Microphone will be available in December for US$1,695 excluding local duties and taxes, from Blackmagic Design resellers worldwide.

âWhile this is underway, the MTRCB reminded PBB management to exercise greater care to ensure that each episode complies with the guidelines for the reality television showâs assigned age rating,â pagtatapos nito.
Wala namang sinabi ang ahensya kung ano ang mga reklamong natanggap nila laban sa programa.
Bago pa ang inilabas na anunsyo ng MTRCB, marami na ang kumakalampag sa produksyon ng PBB hinggil sa “dinosaur” issue ng mga male housemates na parang ginagawang tropeo umano si Gehlee Dangca at kompetisyon kung sino ang mas mapapalapit dito.
Bukod pa rito, may issue rin sa pagtawag ni Anthony Constantino ng “dookie” sa kapwa housemate na si Primo Alterado pati ang pag-twist nito ng bote sa bibig ni Primo habang pinapainom niya ito noong pinatawan ng parusa sa mfa violations ang mga housemates.
Sa ngayon ay wala pang inilalabas ang pamunuan ng PBB hinggil sa kinakaharap na isyu.

Kalshi is no stranger to gimmicks when hiring. Last Christmas, it was hiring for a marketing executive with a salary range of $50k to $8m. It’s back again this year with a role so unusual that it had to preface the listing with the fact that it’s a “real job”: the prediction markets firm is offering up to $10k a month for one person to play GTA VI.
đ„Follow us on WhatsApp for news alerts.đ„
Kalshi wants a ‘GTA VI Researcher’ with over three years of video game streaming experience, preferably with a finance or economics degree. They will be streaming the game from its launch at midnight next Thursday, focusing specifically on the in-game economy of its fictional US state, Leonida. The role is on a contract basis and pays equivalent to a salary of $100k to $120k.
The researcher will release weekly reports on this while also studying the real-world economic effects of the GTA VI launch. There has been fearmongering from some analysts that the launch could cost the US economy $1bn due to the volume of people taking days off to play it at launch.Â
In addition to the $10k monthly pay, the researcher will get a $15k “streaming bonus,” a 100-inch TV and $75 daily for food deliveries. While it says you’re expected to take the overall project at your own pace, you will be expected to have an “eagerness to play 10+ hours per day during the launch push,” not including the additional work on the reports.Â
This might seem like overspending (and it might be), but open GTA VI-related markets have a total volume of over $12m on Kalshi. Kalshi relies on highly liquid markets like these and sports to help fund the ‘truth machine’ markets it uses to distance itself from traditional gambling companies. Kalshi enlists ‘designated market makers,’ including major trading firms, which receive incentives like lower transaction fees in their usual trading activity in exchange for making markets in smaller, illiquid areas. The firm has had an ongoing legal battle with several state governments in the US to exempt prediction markets from state gambling laws (and the associated fees and taxes).

Sung Jinwoo continues to grow stronger in Solo Leveling: Ragnarok, even after ascending to the position of Shadow Monarch and King of the Dead. He has no intention of slowing down, constantly pursuing greater power as long as he remains alive. As such, it comes as no surprise that Jinwoo has evolved into a godlike being in the Solo Leveling universe.
Speaking of gods, shonen anime features plenty of formidable divine beings capable of giving Sung Jinwoo a serious fight. However, despite standing at the pinnacle of their respective series, these anime gods may still fall short of the Shadow Monarch’s overwhelming power, potentially allowing Sung Jinwoo to overpower them in a direct confrontation.

Enel’s Goro Goro no Mi Wouldn’t Give Him an Edge Over Jinwoo
One Piece

Enel claims the title of God of Skypiea after overthrowing Gan Fall in One Piece. He is among the series’ most ambitious and powerful villains, largely thanks to his seemingly invincible Devil Fruit, the Goro Goro no Mi, which grants him complete control over electricity and lightning. On top of that, his exceptional Observation Haki allows him to anticipate his opponents’ movements, making him an even more dangerous fighter.
Unfortunately, combining his Observation Haki with his lightning manipulation still wouldn’t give Enel a reliable way to defeat someone as powerful as Sung Jinwoo. The Shadow Monarch holds a considerable advantage in overall combat stats, making it difficult for the former God of Skypiea to keep up with him. Despite Enel’s impressive abilities, Jinwoo could potentially put him in his place with little difficulty.

The Goddess of Creation Has No Proven Counter to Sung Jinwoo
Frieren

The Goddess of Creation may no longer be active in Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, but her influence continues to shape the world’s magic system. Regarded as an all-powerful and all-knowing deity, she is credited with creating healing and supportive magic, allowing mages and priests to perform a variety of beneficial spells. Serie, one of the most powerful mages in the series, is also said to be the closest living being to the Goddess of Creation in terms of magical knowledge and abilities.
However, Jinwoo is no ordinary magic user. As the Shadow Monarch, he possesses complete control over shadows, darkness, and necromancy, making him an incredibly dangerous opponent for any magical being. While the Goddess of Creation could potentially rival him in terms of magical authority, Frieren has yet to show any direct feats that establish the full extent of her powers. Even Serie’s impressive accomplishments provide little evidence that the Goddess could overcome someone with Jinwoo’s overwhelming abilities, particularly in Solo Leveling: Ragnarok.

Hashirama Senju Is No Match for Sung Jinwoo

Hashirama Senju is one of the few humans in Naruto to earn a divine moniker. Revered as the original God of Shinobi, his signature Wood Release and other extraordinary abilities allow him to take on Madara Uchiha and the Tailed Beasts head-on. He also played a pivotal role in uniting the shinobi world during the Warring States period, all while maintaining his carefree and laid-back personality.
Even years after Hashirama’s death, the shinobi world continues to regard him as a legendary God. Those who later acquired his cells also gained immense power, allowing them to become formidable enemies or valuable allies of Naruto and his friends. However, despite Hashirama’s legendary status and overwhelming strength as a shinobi, he would still stand little chance against Jinwoo, who could overpower the First Hokage in a matter of minutes.

King Kai Would Struggle to Keep Up With Jinwoo’s Combat Abilities
Dragon Ball
solo leveling shonen anime gods jinwoo can beat
Dragon Ball is one of the few shonen anime series that Jinwoo couldn’t possibly conquer on his own. After all, its universe is home to countless overpowered fighters, including humans, gods, and other powerful species, making it a breeding ground for some of the strongest anime characters in history.
King Kai is one of the many gods in Dragon Ball, overseeing the North Area of Universe 7. He initially trained Son Goku in the Kaio-ken and Spirit Bomb techniques before passing his teachings to other Z Fighters, including Yamcha, Chiaotzu, and Piccolo. While King Kai possesses formidable abilities, he is hardly a confrontational deity. Despite his immense knowledge and techniques, his combat power pales in comparison to Sung Jinwoo’s, particularly in Solo Leveling: Ragnarok, where the Shadow Monarch reaches even more godlike heights.

Yato’s Divine Instruments Would Make Little Difference Against Jinwoo
Noragami
solo leveling shonen anime gods jinwoo can beat
Noragami‘s former God of Calamity, Yato, is a weapon specialist who excels in combat. His Shinki, also known as Regalia or Divine Instruments, has always taken the form of weapons, ranging from blades and daggers to katanas. Yato is particularly fond of wielding these weapons whenever he enters a battle or when his father tasks him with assassinating someone.
Despite Yato’s combat prowess and divine physiology, he would struggle to dominate a battle against Jinwoo. Although he is a God, Yato lacks a reliable counter to Jinwoo’s abilities as the Shadow Monarch. Before Yato could land a significant blow, Jinwoo’s massive shadow army would likely overwhelm him, leaving the former God of Calamity at a considerable disadvantage.
Momoshiki Otsutsuki is a recurring antagonist in Boruto, continuing to torment the young Uzumaki even after his defeat during the Momoshiki Arc. Now residing within Boruto, the Otsutsuki poses a constant threat, as he can take complete control of the young ninja’s body under the right conditions and potentially never relinquish it.
Among the Otsutsuki introduced in Boruto, Momoshiki is undoubtedly one of the most powerful. Considered a greater threat than Kaguya, he can absorb almost any ninjutsu and unleash an amplified version of the attack against his opponents. He can also consume chakra pills to increase his already formidable strength. Nevertheless, Jinwoo would still have the upper hand in a battle against him. After all, the Shadow Monarch possesses far greater resources and combat abilities than Momoshiki, who ultimately met his end after being struck by a massive Rasengan.

Satan’s Reality Manipulation Would Be Tested Against Sung Jinwoo
Blue Exorcist
solo leveling shonen anime gods jinwoo can beat
Blue Exorcist features an absurdly powerful demon god in Satan, the series’ primary antagonist who shows little regard for humanity or demons alike. He is also the father of Rin Okumura, the protagonist, whom he claims to have created out of boredom. As the ruler of Gehenna, Satan reigns as a ruthless and merciless demon king with an array of godlike abilities, including the power to manipulate weather, control nature, distort reality, and kill his opponents instantly.
Despite possessing such extraordinary powers, Satan would struggle against someone like Sung Jinwoo. As the Shadow Monarch, Jinwoo holds absolute dominion over death, the underworld, and the shadows themselves. Even the most powerful demons in Solo Leveling cannot challenge his authority, as Jinwoo commands the very darkness and shadow that give these beings their power. Consequently, Satan’s status as a demon god wouldn’t necessarily give him an advantage against the Shadow Monarch.

British loudspeaker designer Phil Ward has opened orders for the LS3/5X, a compact passive two-way that revisits the BBCâs LS3/5A with modern low-distortion drivers. The sealed design pairs a long-excursion Purifi bass/midrange driver with a waveguide-loaded dome tweeter and a 1.4 kHz crossover. Hand-built in small numbers and sold direct at ÂŁ4,999 per pair, the LS3/5X retains the original BBC monitorâs proportions and damped birch-plywood construction.
British loudspeaker designer Phil Ward has opened orders for the LS3/5X, a compact passive two-way that revisits the BBCâs LS3/5A with modern low-distortion drivers. The sealed design pairs a long-excursion Purifi bass/midrange driver with a waveguide-loaded dome tweeter and a 1.4 kHz crossover. Hand-built in small numbers and sold direct at ÂŁ4,999 per pair, the LS3/5X retains the original BBCÂ monitorâs proportions and damped birch-plywood construction.
Â
Phil Ward is recognized in the audio industry as one of the most thoughtful and technically grounded reviewers with an extensive career as a freelance writer, and particularly as a contributor to Sound On Sound magazine. Less known is that his work as a writer, spanning professional audio and hifi, draws on more than four decades of loudspeaker design experience and consultancy projects. Ward began his engineering career at Mordaunt-Short in 1982 and went on to design and development roles at Canon Audio and Naim Audio. As a consultant, he designed Acoustic Energyâs AE22 nearfield monitor and led the electroacoustic design of Stratton Acousticsâ debut loudspeaker, the Elypsis 1512. As he says, âThe LS3/5X isnât my first design rodeo. Just the first one with my name on it.â
This latest project began with a conversation between Ward and Andy Whittle of Rogers Hi-Fi about what the BBC monitor might do with contemporary drive units. Developed for monitoring in spaces too confined for larger loudspeakers, the original LS3/5A used KEFâs B110 bass/midrange driver and T27 tweeter in a cabinet barely 31cm high. Ward kept that compact format as a design constraint and started with a single prototype to collect acoustic data and model crossover options. By June 2026, he had built the first pair representative of the intended production design.Â
This interesting project follows a different path through BBC monitor history from the Rogers LS5-9 revival previously covered by audioXpress, which returned to the original BBC specifications. In his personal website, Ward shared many of his prototype notes and first-pair build.
Â
In a sealed cabinet this small, the bass/midrange driver has to make substantial excursions while still reproducing the midrange cleanly. Ward chose a 130mm (5.25â) Purifi USHINDI driver with an aluminum cone and a specified ±9.8mm of linear travel. Its motor is designed to keep force factor and voice-coil inductance more stable as the coil moves, while the Neutral Surround reduces changes in effective radiating area between inward and outward strokes. audioXpress has examined those same design principles in a related paper-cone Purifi driver and covered a different application of the technology in the Radiant Acoustics Clarity 6.2, which uses two passive radiators to extend its bass response.
At the top end, an SB Acoustics aluminum-ceramic dome tweeter combines an underhung motor with a resonance below 700Hz. The waveguide adds acoustic gain at the lower end of the tweeterâs range, helping Ward cross the drivers at 1.4kHz with a symmetrical third-order electrical network. The low crossover frequency helps limit vertical lobing, while the waveguide helps match the driversâ horizontal dispersion through the handoff. It also changes the structure of the cabinet. The thin birch-plywood shell still uses hardwood corner fillets and bitumen damping, but the drivers mount to a 15mm resin-impregnated Permali panel, with a second 15mm composite material forming the waveguide and stiffening the front assembly.
Since Phil Wardâs recent consultancy work includes the electroacoustic design of Stratton Acousticsâ debut Elypsis 1512 â a stunning design, inspired by the iconic main studio monitors that shaped recording in the 1970s and 1980s â it seems that this build has benefited from that cabinet design experience. The promoted model of the LS3/5X features an oak-veneered birch plywood cabinet with a white front baffle made from HiMACS Solid Surface, a mineral powder/resin composite material that combines the plasticity of wood with the resistance of stone.
The LS3/5X is available to order in rosewood, walnut, oak, or olive cabiner finishes, with the same satin-white waveguide panel and the same Tygan grille fabric over the bass/midrange drivers as the original BBC monitors. Ward requires a ÂŁ1,500 deposit and estimates a minimum three-month build time, subject to component availability. Shipping and any applicable import duties and taxes are additional.
