Conference Paper

Microphone Techniques for Multichannel Surround Sound

Authors: Mason, Russell

AES Conference: UK 14th Conference: Audio - The Second Century · Paper ASC-03 · June 1999

Abstract

A controlled subjective test was carried out to assess selected qualities of three microphone techniques for capturing the ambient sound of a concert hall surround sound. The effects of signal delay between the front and rear channels and microphone distance were explored. The tests indicate that the perceived results are programme-dependent, but that a compromise can be found using delayed close microphones, giving similar quality for the range of programme items used.
