Binaural Recording

Stereo recording using either an artificial head with built-in microphones or a real person with small microphones in – or close to – the ear canals. For correct monitoring, the recording must be reproduced using headphones to eliminate crosstalk.

Binaural recording techniques

The binaural recording technique builds on the principle of placing microphones on a human’s head - or an artificial head. The microphones' position is either just outside each ear canal or at the bottom of the ear canal close to the eardrum. When you reproduce the recording and listen with headphones, the image is very much similar to “being there”. This article explains using a binaural headset (instead of an artificial head solution), so the binaural sound recording takes place at the entrance of the ear canal of a real person.
