Dummy Head Recording - Methods

Methods

There are three main ways of making a recording that uses this last effect to encode directionality information:

  1. dummy head recording uses an artificial model of a human head, built from selected acoustic materials to emulate the sound-transmitting characteristics of a real human head, with two microphone inserts embedded at the "eardrum" locations,
  2. simulated dummy head recording processes a signal electronically to imprint the HRTF information associated with a specified direction, and
  3. finally, a pair of specially-designed microphones can be worn by a volunteer, fitted inside their ears, to make use of actual intra-cranial acoustics.

Famous quotes containing the word methods:

    How can you tell if you discipline effectively? Ask yourself if your disciplinary methods generally produce lasting results in a manner you find acceptable. Whether your philosophy is democratic or autocratic, whatever techniques you use—reasoning, a “star” chart, time-outs, or spanking—if it doesn’t work, it’s not effective.
    Stanley Turecki (20th century)

    I believe in women; and in their right to their own best possibilities in every department of life. I believe that the methods of dress practiced among women are a marked hindrance to the realization of these possibilities, and should be scorned or persuaded out of society.
    Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)

    The methods by which a trade union can alone act, are necessarily destructive; its organization is necessarily tyrannical.
    Henry George (1839–1897)
