Esfera SPM 8000 for Upmixing
Sennheiser just has introduced at IBC 2014 its own up mixing system http://en-de.sennheiser.com/spb-8000 which uses a regular XY MKH8040 stereo pair and up mix it to 5.1.
I am not interested in BG's 5.1 (either 5.0) derived from XY, but I wonder how this box would up mix Music for film mixes and maybe some ORTF recordings. But maybe I am wrong in my interest in this unit as its mostly TV oriented. Any one has experience with it or visited IBC this year>

Hi Michael,
I thought it looked interesting too, but the price £6520.00! I know that includes the mics but even so. I think I'll stick with what I have. Martin

I am just curious about the algorithm itself Sennheiser developed or borrowed for the unit comparing to Soundfield UPM, Auro, Anymix Pro, Unwrap, Penteo e.t.c Taking in a count they know a thing or two about pro audio and acoustics, it could be at least worth to check.

Re: Esfera SPM 8000 for Upmixing
Thierry, I am not looking to buy this one.
I am finished with the hardware as well as with TC. This is the curiosity only, whether Sennheiser has an interesting up mixing technology in its box. Knowing the Sennheiser for quite allot, I would not even expect from them developing a plugin anytime soon. But again, I'm just wondering....
