Topic: Which equipment do I need to record stereo sound?

[ShanonHeller]

I'd like to record video of cityscape from first-person view, and I'd like to capture the ambient sound of people, birds, etc., and for it to be immersive.

I don't have any knowledge of audio recording, I've done some research, and I know that I need to record separate channels for my left and right ears.

My question is what would be the “best” (good enough) devices for this purpose? I came across this Roland CS-10EM and few other alternatives are the SonicPresence SP15, Soundman OKM II. They're similar in their usage: I'd wear them in-ear and probably with windscreens.

I'm wondering what my alternatives are. I know the recorder such as Zoom H1n and Tascam DR-07X can record stereo, but would it be as good as these in-ear ones? I look at these recorders and I see the mics are right next to each other and I don't know if there are any separation at all between the left and right channel.

Thank you!

Welcome. To address only your specific question: In my opinion you are going to get more immersive sound with external mics, probably in ear ,or on ear, worn, but that may be something like wearing them in a hat, etc. The Tascam and Zoom recorders are OK in their internal mic, but I would think not the best for your purposes.

As for mic selection, look into binaural mics also. Ambeo, Sonic Studios (used only I think these days but I could be wrong) or if money is no worry the Neumann head!

I'd suggest a pair of Clippy's with dead mouse wind protection,  attached to either side of you body (hat, lapel etc) - combined with a recorder of your choice.
The Roland mics you mention are not really good outside. It is difficult to protect effectively against wind.
