Thanks, Sampo and Andy,I didn't think to check Core Sound's site. (Side:
coincidentally, I just ordered a Jecklin disk from them.) I wonder if my head
is shaped like Len M's -- the sampled recordings could be a real binaural
treat! Both the deafeningly loud club and motorcycles ought to work. Thanks
again for suggesting.Sampo, I agree. I often work with MEMS mics. SNR getting
better, but the overall response is so affected by the net acoustic path
(air-mass loading) that there's always a peak in response. Low frequency
generally rolls off below 100 Hz without electric filtering, though this can be
set by manufacturer (f3 = 5 Hz entirely possible, but low freq energy saturates
system). Regardless of uniform response or SNR, sound quality of microacoustic
mics is inferior to good studio mics.Best regards,Eric

Greetings Everyone,I haven't posted in ages--a move to Silicon Valley over a
year ago has occupied my time.Does anybody have a Soundfield recording of a
loud nightclub or live music venue? I mean really LOUD electronic dance or rock
music. I understand this isn't something you'd normally take a high-end mic to,
but I need an accurate representation of the atmosphere. I have live recordings
taken from feeds, but these aren't representative of what the "sound" is really
like. A binaural or monaural recording (with quality mics) would help, too, but
marginal quality recordings made with a Smartphone won't work (otherwise I'd go
to YouTube and find tons of $%#@).I checked uploaded recordings linked to the
ambisonic net site: Very cool stuff, but not what I need for a particular
study.Best regards,Eric

I don't have one. But from what I understand, SoundFields, especially of
the classical kind, can take one hell of a beating without even
distortin too much. I seem to remember you can take a Mark V into an
environment close to 130dB(A), while still being so-and-so on the safe
side.
With the newer ones, your mileage may vary. But not too much even there.
All of the miniaturized mics are of course shit, as they always were.

Has some Binaural one of which claims to be very loud - real head though.
