Stereophonic sound reproduction with acoustically matched receiver units effecting flat frequency response at a listener{3 s eardrums

摘要

A binaural sound recording and reproduction system which utilizes a recording mannequin equipped with an electroacoustic model of the human auditory tract to thereby record the sound pressure which would be incident on a listener's eardrum and also utilizes a headset with in-ear transducers or receivers which exhibit a flat frequency response as measured at the listener's eardrums is described. The receiver units utilize acoustic impedance matching to the listener's ear canal to effect the flat frequency response characteristic. An electrical equalizer circuit to facilitate the use of the subject in-ear receivers with conventionally recorded sound is also disclosed.
