Head Related Stereo

Stereo techniques using human interaural geometry as a model for the microphone set-up. Head related stereo is a generic term for a lot of different stereo techniques using both difference-in-time and difference-in-intensity stereo with microphone spacing and microphone off-axis attenuation related to the distance between the human ears and the shadow effect of the human head. Among the more standardized head related stereo techniques are ORTF stereo and DIN stereo.

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.
