A Commercial Binaural Recorder

Otto C. Bixler

Present-day sound recording-reproducing equipment is at a very high state of development and, since the benefits of stereophonic recording have been previously demonstrated, it was believed that the next desirable step in commercial equipment would be the manufacture of a reasonably priced binaural system. A review of the theoretical factors involved in binaural sound recording and reproduction is presented along with a description of the technical equipment developed to fill the needs of high-quality binaural sound consistent with a reasonable overall equipment cost. Some novel problems and effects experienced in this development program are described.
