However, by miking so closely low frequency components are picked up that would normally not be heard or recorded in an orchestral setting. Arny's triangle recording is not al all how a triangle sounds a few feet or more away. It's similar to the bass cancelation of dipolar speakers at normal distance due to the front and back waves meeting. However if you put a microphone right next to the speaker diaphragm of such a speaker the mike will pick up the bass full strength. Sorry I'm not more eloquent in my description. I assume you mean the proximity effect that occurs with pressure gradient ( directional ) mics as opposed to pressure operated. Not applicable. The online doc for the pre-downsampling version of recording is posted at: http://www.pcabx.com/technical/sample_rates/index.htm "24 bit 96 KHz "reference" samples were made by using 2 B&K 4007 1/2" condenser microphones powered by an Audio Technica phantom power unit, preamplified using a Benchmark Media mic preamp, and recorded using a CardD Deluxe in a 800 Mhz Pentium 3 computer located in another room. They were closely miced on-axis in a fairly small dead space. Therefore the transients are very well-defined and harmonic-rich, technically speaking. They also have relatively low amounts of background noise (mostly acoustic). They may sound quite "dry" to your ears." B&K 4007 are small omnidirectional measurement mics. About $2500 a pair. Further information about this recording is near and in figures 11 & 12. No, I mean if you (lightly!) strike a triangle or bell or iron skillet etc. an inch from your ear the low frequency components will be more prominent than if you strike it at arms length. There are tones in that triangle file that simply would not be heard at all from 10 feet away. I'm still struggling to determine what the mechanism would be for this. |

How about you do the test and see for yourself? TB |

How about you do the test and see for yourself? The equipment used in the orgional test is pretty much fully dispersed. Note from http://www.pcabx.comtechnical/sample_rates/index.htm that the original test was done around 3/2001. |

The test I described needs no more than those two things. I think you've been "plugged in" too long. TB |

Please have a little patience. I don't know what effect I'm supposed to be testing for. The test I described needs no more than those two things. I think that would result in a number of uncontrolled variables. |
