Introduction to binaural speaker recordings

2014-11-12
hello everyone I'm Olaf or clarinet junkie on YouTube it's the first time I'm showing myself here on YouTube and this is because of you because I want to thank you all my subscribers all my viewers all the ones who support me because without you this wouldn't be possible I've been doing lots of speaker reviews you can have a look at my site this is a loves gadgets dot blog spot.com the link is below and currently I'm reviewing quite interesting speakers the Bowers & Wilkins t7 and the Bang & Olufsen do play a - usually I do all speaker recordings in a special room this is our gallery it's a small room with with a particular acoustics and well I care a lot about the setup so it's always the same distance always the same position of the speaker's also the measurements frequency response and everything is done there when I finish the recordings of the Biot play a - I noticed that they didn't do the speaker justice this speaker is different because it's a omnidirectional speaker this is you basically get 360 degrees sound at the front and at the back are the same drivers so regardless how you listen they say that the Sun is always the same the problem is for the recording half of the sound is emitted backwards so it comes back as diffuse reflections to the microphone and the speaker sends sounds somehow more distant diffuse so I was not satisfied with with the recording then I thought how can I record this speaker to make it really sound how it sounds in reality and the idea I had was to try binaural audio recordings basically you have two microphones I mean I have two microphones in my ears and when you hear this recording with headphones you should hear what I was hearing well in theory of course the microphone has set its own frequency response but these recordings a much more real realistic than the ones I do usually in my recording room I would like to show you the difference between you no microphone in this case the zoom h1 and my binaural microphones which currently I'm using s voice mix and I will record my Philip sounds with speakers and then switch between the zoom h1 and the binaural microphones of course don't forget to wear headphones so to get the most realistic sound image let's have a listen you
