[Sursound] Hooke: First Bluetooth Binaural Microphone
Hi Surround Mailing List! I recently joined your list and have been throughly enjoying the conversations. I apologize if this is not the way to post, but I’m looking for feedback on a product I’ve recently invented HOOKE (www.hookeaudio.com <http://www.hookeaudio.com/>) Hooke are a pair of bluetooth headphones with built in binaural microphones that capture what we like to call Mobile 3D Audio. Hooke is both a playback and a capturing device capable of capturing binaural audio on one’s smartphone. Is this something you think the list would be interested in? Thanks so much!

Re: [Sursound] Hooke: First Bluetooth Binaural Microphone
Anthony, I have a set on order (any update on shipping?) and I'm planning a massive surround and binaural test later in the year, probably July, with Soundfield ST450, TetraMic, CoreSound DPA4060 Binaural set, DPA 5100, Neumann KU 100 dummy head, Schoeps DMS, Neumann KM184d IRT cross and the new Sennheiser synthesized surround system. I'll add the Hooke in if it arrives in time. Should be fun. Anyone want to join in? I just need a lot more decent pre-amps. (16 channels of Metric Halo ULN-8 available so far.)

Re: [Sursound] Hooke: First Bluetooth Binaural Microphone
John, where about are you based? I'm sure some Huddersfield people would be happy, and we have 24 channels of portable DAV pre-amps linked to RME converters. We also have the DPA 5.0 set with the decca tree.

Re: [Sursound] Hooke: First Bluetooth Binaural Microphone
I’m based in London and currently looking for a suitable venue in which to carry out the test, as well as deciding what material to use. I have access to a bunch of decent musicians who may well be persuaded to turn up and play for a bottle or two of wine and some cheesy comestibles, but it would be good to have some other suggestions. All the best, John Please note new email address & direct line phone number email: j...@johnleonard.uk phone +44 (0)20 3286 5942 > On 18 Jun 2015, at 20:13, Pierre Alexandre Tremblay > wrote: > > John, where about are you based? > > I'm sure some Huddersfield people would be happy, and we have 24 channels of > portable DAV pre-amps linked to RME converters. > > We also have the DPA 5.0 set with the decca tree. > > Contact me off-list if you need a contact > > pa > > Le 18 juin 2015 à 19:49, John Leonard a écrit : > ___ Sursound mailing list Sursound@music.vt.edu https://mail.music.vt.edu/mailman/listinfo/sursound - unsubscribe here, edit account or options, view archives and so on.
Re: [Sursound] Hooke: First Bluetooth Binaural Microphone
Hi john I'm up for a bit of surround mic testing and comparison, I've got a Brahma ambisonic mic to add to the mix if you like - it would be very interesting to see how it compares to more expensive mics. What sort of venue are you looking for?

Re: [Sursound] [allowed] Re: Directional confusion between different B-format players
The Oktava was calibrated for me by Fons Adriaensen at the Casa della Musica in Parma. The calibration files he provided are 4-channel wav files, with four impulses per channel, configured for use with Brahmavolver. That was early last year, before I also bought a Brahma. The files have been described to me by Angelo Farina as 'minimum-phase FIRs obtained by sampling the output of IIR filters'; Angelo told me that they would also work with his X-volver and with SourceForge project ConvolverVST. I bought the Oktava as 'used' on eBay; it came with no user manual or any calibration files; as it appears to be at least 10-12 years old, I wouldn't have trusted the calibration files even if they had existed. The capsules are easy to remove and swap around and there's nothing, no markings, to say which capsule was originally in which position. Indeed, as you can see on the Oktava-Shop website, the MK-012 4D is actually sold without any capsules; the purchaser has to buy the capsules separately. The MK-012 4D is supposedly large enough to take any of the end-fire capsules from the MK-012 small-diameter range - omni, cardoid or hypercardoid (mine has four cardoid capsules), and I see the OktavaUSA website also suggests the MK-102 large diameter capsules and the MK-103 medium diameter capsules can be used. The other oddity about my MK-012 4D is that the capsule positions are Left-Front-Down, Right-Front-Up, Left-Back-Up, Right-Back-Down; this appears to be common to the earlier production, but photos on the Oktava-Shop website now appear to show it changed in the latest models. This is different from say the Brahma or TetraMic, which has the positions Left-Front-Up, Right-Front-Down, Left-Back-Down, Right-Back-Up. However, if I simply turn the Oktava 90° to the left, then the capsules come into the conventional positions. The European website at http://www.oktava-shop.com/Small-and-medium-diaphragm-condenser-mics/Oktava-MK-012-01-12.html?XTCsid=9k990s7ih25ggn95d4f2ak2bq1 appears to have a lot more info than the USA website http://www.oktavausa.com/ProductsPages/Ambient4DMic.html. However, the pictures of the mic on the OktavaUSA website show the form of my mic, which is different from the form now shown on the European Oktava-Shop website.
