Do let us know with what results !

These type of problems are usually a learning experience for us all 

Best of luck,

Re: [Sursound] Array for sound field recording and extend the sound image

You can make a velocity microphone by subtracting two closely spaced omnis. I 
saw a paper on making ambisonic recordings like this a couple of years ago:
http://www.aes.org/e-lib/browse.cfm?elib=15389
The problems, though, are spatial aliasing at high frequencies and lack of 
sensitivity at low frequencies. These would both need addressing in a practical 
system.

The mics are omnis

It might be stating the obvious here but how would you get ANY directional 
information out of four OMNI mics close together? :-)

Surely to get a fig-8 response you need two CARDIODS back to back (one of which 
is polarity reversed obviously).

“The DTS UHD solution will deliver beyond 3D sound over as many 
speakers as the listener would like, but UHD audio is about more than 
just a bunch of speakers,” said Fred Kitson, chief technology officer 
and executive vice president at DTS. “It’s about immersive sound over 
headphones. It’s about expanded features that provide enhanced value 
to content owners and distributors. It’s about offering the consumer 
greater choice and flexibility in their listening environments as well 
as a newfound level of engagement with their sound experience.”


To accelerate next generation content creation, DTS intends to provide 
the industry with Multi-Dimensional Audio (MDA™) as an open 
object-authoring format as the industry looks to avoid a format war 
for next-gen content creation and cinema delivery.




Of course this is marketing speech, but they present something.

Best,

Stefan Schreiber

I seem to recall that Blumlein did this and also found that the s-n 
ratio was poor.

Re: [Sursound] Array for sound field recording and extend the sound image

2013-01-08 Thread Chenrilin
Without more details, it hard to speculate about problems, but I'll note

that subtracting the outputs of two omnis to get a fig-8 response will

result in a frequency response that rises 6dB/octave with a 90 degree phase

shift relative to the sum.  Unless that is corrected, these signals are not

suitable for B-format.

I have checked my encoder, and definitely right as you said.
I have just compensated for the magnitude and lost the phase modification.
After modified, the location of audio is right and the sound image have been 
extended and
much natural.

But if the location of the sound is on the front of array, the listener cannot 
perceive clearly
・ whether the audio is in the front or on the back. I think it needs 
more processing, e.g. add
・ head tracking. If I have I have good result, I will share it with 
all. But it need more time since
・ I am not familiar with it:)
・
・ Thanx very much for help from all of you.
