This is Gude Head

click on the pic for more of Gude Head, in his different party wear fashions.

Its surface seems a bit too hard and reflective, don't you think?

It was designed by Sennheiser engineers to be "human like" in its feature and density.
It was my first baffle.
We are a lot more refined today than we were back in the day.

Why do you think a j-disk would be superior?

[Unitmonster]

moke, do you always have your mics pointed upward like that when running HRTF?  I tend to run them pretty much horizontal for comfort's sake.  Wonder if there'd be much difference in the sound.

[Unitmonster]

ok. Cool.

I use pretty much the same HRTF headband as you and find I can't really get it pointed upward too much without discomfort. Been happy with the results nonetheless, so I guess I won't worry too much.

[greenmachine]

...The sound was always way too bright, as it was collected reflections, rather than a more direct mic'ing...

You might want to give it a try with a more absorbing surface.

[greenmachine]

What if you would use a head-like sphere, but without the certain coloring of the pinna?
I think it wouldn't be true binaural anymore, but more versatile for real world playback.
Does mounting microphones close to a surface color the sound too much, could this be the reason why you prefer j-disc (with a healthy distance between the mikes and the disc)?

whats the minimum? i'm trying to keep the caps under an umbrella. seems i can get about a 2 foot spread. that ok? jdisc is out as this rig needs to travel by air.
