Hi again, B-Format is the same sound field in a different format.
It is easily rotatable or invertible on any axis (not sure about that in higher orders) before the binaural render, I must look at the H2n manual to see if it gives any information about what comes out of the headphone socket when in B-Format mode. I have only really used it for capture in a situation where I needed to be discrete, and aware of everything that was happening around me, including the effects of my presence. Ambiences, walk throughs and impromptu encounters were what was to be captured. I could imagine what the recording was capturing and just needed to keep an eye on the meters every now and again and whether I was recording or not. Wearing headphones and large furry microphones makes it obvious that you are recording, and lead to endless discussions with people about what you are recording and why. Having tried binaural recording with small omnis in my ears, where monitoring on headphones would be highly undesirable, I had got used to not monitoring.
