Method and apparatus for receiving sound intended for stereophonic reproduction

摘要

A method for receiving sound intended for stereophonic reproduction and an apparatus for applying this method. The sound is received by means of two or more microphone pairs of the dummy head type. The microphone pairs are coupled so that signals collected by microphones located on similar sides of the dummy heads are essentially additively combined. The resultant signals can be further processed in a known per se manner and can be used for recording or immediate retransmission. The number of microphone pairs is at least two and depends on the reception conditions. The distance between the microphone pairs is likewise dictated by the reception conditions. The apparatus comprises at least two microphone pairs of the dummy head type and means for essentially additively combining the signals from microphones located on similar sides of the dummy heads.
