I have used it for a commercial job for precisely that purpose.  I had
to record a group of musicians performing in the round (school children
in fact), and rather than putting mics all round the inside of the
circle and trying to fabricate a balance, I put the TetraMic in the
centre of the room and encoded to UHJ to get a decent stereo result.
The more distant perspective didn't matter as it was a good acoustic
(Walthamstow Town Hall).

P.S.: A binaural recording could be another recording strategy, in the described scenario. Can also be reproduced via 2 speakers. (Maybe applying X-talk cancellation.)

So does that mean binaural recordings are totally useless for ordinary listening on loudspeakers?

Not at all! All modern binaural recordings can be heard via standard speakers with excellent results -- very similar to good purist-miked stereo recordings


What are "modern binaural recordings"?

I leave the answer to the lurking binaural experts on our list....
