Updated Fri Apr 17 2020

A microphone which provides for binaural, accurate, audiophile quality 3D sound recording. Capture amazing, immersive 3D audio recorded the same way the human ears capture sounds! Timing difference between the time when sounds reach each microphone capture sounds similarly to the way we do. This is done using two microphones placed inside silicone ears that are the average distance apart as the human ears. Ongoing discussion: https://community.shapertools.com/t/binaural-microphone/

Instructions

This binaural microphone will help you capture realistic 3D audio for any project; from special effects gathering to ambient sound collection (i.e. thunder storms, passing vehicles like trains, buses, trucks, etc. to first person perspective videos. It adds a realistic "actually there" feeling to any recording. Binaural recordings sound great out of speakers just like any other stereo recording but to get the 3D effect, you need to use earbud (best) or headphones when listening to recordings. This is because the sound will emanate from the same location that it was recorded and the timings of the sound waves hitting your eardrums will be accurate and replicated those of the actual sounds in the recorded environment. Please download the Assembly Instructions PDF for the build process. It contains the Bill of Materials, tool list and instructions for assembly. I created a basic example of this microphone in use here: https://soundcloud.com/user-114280388/binaural-microphone-sound-location-test Good luck and please post your build and sound captures in the Shaper Community thread here: https://community.shapertools.com/t/binaural-microphone/
