[Sursound] audio point / audio plenum

2012-04-15 Thread Gregorio Garcia Karman
Dear sursounders, I found a reference in a musical text of the 1960s originated in the UK that mentions the terms "audio point" and "audio plenum" perhaps in reference to a technique that would be able to control the spread of a single source in the stereophonic image. Do these terms ring the b

This is very unlikely to be true, that one can justify getting a new TV to save electricity for the sake of the world. To save on your own bills will also take a very long time. People seldom do the arithmetic on this. When the first gas crisis occurred(in the 1970s) I did some calculation of ho

I've been following the "dissertation" thread. (We are one of the two companies that build first-order Ambisonic microphones.) First-order Ambisonics has/had lots of positives: 1. Needs only four source tracks for an essentially unlimited number of playback formats 2. A set of good tools f

I should add one more thing: In my opinion TetraMic is probably the finest Blumlein array available today. That means that for stereo decodes, if you like how Blumlein sounds (and I do), FOA is at the top of the heap. It's interesting that Ambisonics - a technology that most people thi

Interesting indeed, but not new. I think the Unicorn Fenby Legacy(Music of Delius), the part that was done with the Soundfield mike, is one of the finest of all stereo recordings of an orchestra. For naturalness of sound, it is unbeatable and hard for anything else to equal in my view. Robert On
