www.bbc.co.uk/taster/projects/proms-binauralThe BBC have tidied up the access to their Proms recordongs in 'binaural'. Some from this year as well as some from 2016. Sound seems relaxed, unforced. A touch bright if you ask me (listneing to Beethoven 9) but bearably so. Massed voices semm to be very detailed; fast forward to 45:35 for the start of the choral section. Seeems the they don't use binaural mics as such. Instead... "The microphone array is the Schoeps ORTF-3D and uses its eight hypercardioid microphones to pick-up sound from all directions - in front and behind, above and below. The array uses the directional characteristics of the mics to increase the sound separation between each channel and uses the spacing between the mics to introduce time differences between the sounds that each mic picks up. These characteristics work, together with some clever binaural processing, to produce a 2-channel “mix” (or “render") that provides the headphone listener with a surprisingly realistic reproduction of the 3D soundscape around the mic array. This is similar to recordings made with a dummy head microphone but, crucially, our object-based technique allows us to render these audio mixes for different playback formats, not just binaural."
