Default What is the "stereo angle'?

It's an excellent article, and it answers all my questions more than
adequately. I read an article by Bruce Babbit not too long ago in which

he
shows experimental results of the apparent separation of 5 sound sources
compared to the actual separation of the same sources when recorded. I
guess the object is to make the recording sound as much like the original

as
possible. It's interesting to note than the best results were obtained

with
an ORTF placement having an angle of 110 degrees and a spacing of 17cm.


Gee, the AES ran a similar article in the 1970s. I don't think it was by
Babbit but I could be wrong. Anyway, that one gave good marks to the ORTF
setup, also Blumlein (stacked figure-8s at 90 degrees).

Peace,
Paul


I screwed up the name. It was Bruce _Bartlett_, not babbit. And it was in
db magazine for December, 1979. (I guess I should have looked it up before
I posted.) :-)
