The ORTF-2plus2 setup was developed as a 4-channel "spot microphone" for 3D audio recording. It captures sound sources and atmos with vertical and horizontal extension. It is part of the SCHOEPS 'ORTF' series, similar to the 'ORTF Stereo', 'ORTF Surround' and 'ORTF-3D' setups.

The 4 channels of the ORTF-2plus2 are routed to 2 adjacent stereo channels and their corresponding height channels, e.g. to L, R + Lh, Rh.
