The Decca Tree is a spaced microphone array most commonly used for orchestral recording.
It was originally developed as a sort of stereo A–B recording method adding a center fill. It is the most commonly used spaced-pair technique. The technique was developed in the early 1950s and first commercially used in 1954 by Arthur Haddy, Roy Wallace, Kenneth Wilkinson, Stan Goodall, and their team at Decca Records, to provide a strong stereo image.

Famous quotes containing the word tree:
“A tree that can fill the span of a man’s arms
Grows from a downy tip;
A terrace nine stories high
Rises from hodfuls of earth;
A journey of a thousand miles
Starts from beneath one’s feet.”
—Lao-Tzu (6th century B.C.)
