Guest Anonymous Posted April 16, 2003 Report Share Posted April 16, 2003 Built my own microphone. Took about twenty minutes with a soldering iron. It works good, sounds pretty good, and picks up stuff from long distances. It cost about $6 in materials at radio shack, plus you can find schematics for them all over the internet. Do a search for, "make your own microphone binaural" :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted April 29, 2003 Report Share Posted April 29, 2003 Audio Technica makes some cool little mics that are modded (by various online retailers) to be a binaural mics. The cool thing about them is they have interchangeable capsules so you can use them in many different situations. I believe the model number is AT-853 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterBongo Posted April 30, 2003 Report Share Posted April 30, 2003 I've been an orchestral musician for more than 25 years, and I've only recently started doing binaural recordings with a MD. I recently purchase a set of Core Sound binaural mics, and I've had occasion to record a Bach oratorio, a symphony concert, and right in the pit at the opera (damn, my cymbal crashes sound loud!). In a nutshell, they have been the greatest thing since I don't know what! Quiet, unobtrusive, and the sound stage and presence you get in the recording is amazing. They will help a lot in getting a 'real world' perspective on our orchestral sound, rather than everyone focussing on how it sounds on stage. I've had 2 or 3 cheaper, single-point stereo microphones before, all Sonys, but the noise floor was so high that the recordings were unlistenable. One quick order and some overheated plastic on the credit card and I'm a happy musician... Cheers, Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
