Hello everyone, We would like to make you aware of the concept of equatorial microphone arrays, which use a spherical scattering body and microphones along the equator of that body. Here’s a 3-minute video of a binaural rendering of the signals from such array: https://youtu.be/95qDd13pVVY
Their main advantage over conventional spherical microphone arrays is the fact that they require only 2N+1 microphones for Nth spherical harmonic order (conventional arrays require (N+1)^2 microphones). The price to pay is the circumstance that the array does not capture the actual sound field but a horizontal projection of it. This poses the question of what it may sound like if the array captures sound that originates from outside of the horizontal plane?!? The video is going to demonstrate this!
