The Wwise plug-in API exposes ambisonic channel configurations with the AK_ChannelConfigType_Ambisonic
. Consequently, in
developing custom plug-ins, developers can work with ambisonic beds.
All Effects distributed with Wwise that process channels independently, such as the Wwise Compressor, Wwise Guitar Distortion, and Wwise Parametric EQ plug-ins, support ambisonics.

In order to preserve the spatial image, compression should be used in "linked channels" mode. |
On the other hand, reverbs process channels differently. They typically downmix the input channel, reverberate it, and upmix the reverberated output by mixing more or less de-correlated signals into the output channels. Wwise RoomVerb and Wwise Convolution Reverb work with ambisonic voices/busses. They take the W (omni) channel, reverberate it, and upmix it by mixing de-correlated signals to the omni and directional channels. The Wwise Matrix Reverb will fail to initialize if used on ambisonic voices/busses.
