It appears to be a dummy head without the dummy head - just artificial ears at head reference distance. Which, as far as I can see, defeats the object. Personally - if I wanted a small and flesible surround system I would go for the Soundfield SPS200 that easily fits on a camera - or the ST450 if you can afford the extra cash. Or maybe the DPA 5100.

Re: 3D microphone
I was just looking at the mic for some extreme commercial radio production... just something different that would work for car radios and in-ear listening. Doesn't need to be precise, perfect or accurate just audience grabbing.
I have considered 5.1 mics but the format I'm working in is just Stereo FM commercial radio. |

Re: 3D microphone
I remember when I first started doing radio stuff and a stereo microphone seemed to be a great idea since we were broadcasting in stereo. But I soon learned to understand the mono thing.
If you did want to record voice in a stereo field, you might as well record using a Zoom H1 which is scary-good when it comes to the quality of the recording for the money that you pay for it. Andrew |

Re: 3D microphone
Just been looking at the web site for it and the accompanying examples. I don't think it's a quantum leap in audio goodness. Doesn't do it for me.
That and I could really look like a right twat if I had it mounted on top of my camera. Andrew |

Re: 3D microphone
Nothing new about binaural recording.
It's based on trying to emulate the acoustics as "heard" by a human head. If you want to look a real twat, youi could try mounting this on your camera :-) VintageMicrophone.com > Neumann KU 100 Binaural Dummy head Stereo Microphone

Re: 3D microphone
I agree with you entirely John - which is why I provided the link.
The makers of the "3-D" mic referred to it as providing a binaural experience...

Re: 3D microphone
Does sort of look like a caged version of something you'd buy in an adult specialty store. Wonder if it has any additional functions they're not alluding to.
