Binaural recording and playback
Surrounded by sound fields
Whether in the kitchen, car or an open-plan office, people always hear binaurally, with both ears. Based on these two ear signals, any sound is evaluated – consciously or unconsciously.
In order to align ambient and product sounds with human perception, working with binaural signals is therefore essential in product development and user studies.
Multiple influencing factors
- The listener’s body changes the sound field.
- Due to the influence of shoulders, head and ears, the ear signals are direction-dependent and differ from each other.
- Every device in the measurement and playback chain impacts the signal.
Only if these influences are taken into account, the listener can perceive a binaural recording as if he was directly in the original sound field – including directional hearing as well as differentiation and separation of sound sources.
