Topic: damn, DPA makes some fine stealth equipment>

A/B omni's (on top of your head), don't get that stuff very well. HRTF gets 100% of all of the stereo info offered.

Moke, I've used the DSM mics, and am familiar with the HRTF method Leonard has patented.  I always thought true HRTF, with mics at ear position, reproduces best with headphones, and quasi-HRTF, with mics closer to the eyes, reproduces better with loudspeakers.  Am I remembering this correctly?  I always had the mics glasses-mounted since I rarely listen through headphones.

glad you finally got your stealth rig up & running!! 
I know you want those 4022s now too

+T for DPA

you are right, Phil, I'm definitely a flat mic guy, digging the 480s and the 4061s that produce that nice flat and uncolored sound, when I upgrade my big rig it probably will be with DPA caps and actives

Hey, wait a minute!  Are you saying Spock ran DPAs???   He always did carry that 'Tri-corder'!

I miss the swirl

I stealth a lot with AT943 cardioids, usually clipped to my glasses, but up towards the front of the glasses. Would pulling the mics back towards my temples create this baffling phenomenon, even with cards? Or is this an omni thang?

stealth rules.

+T and welcome to the darkside.

I have the same mics....I would use the omnis and, yes, pull them back a little (I prefer right on top of my ears each with a slight angle).  Baffling rocks!  I've only stealthed a few occassions but was really surprised with the results.

HRTF is Head Reference/Related Transfer Function, and it is quasi-binaural, and not a true binaural recording. It reproduces fine to speakers, yet still retains all of the ambiet info of a binaural recording. Subtle, but real differences.
Yes, Leonard patented it after many others in the trenches actually perfected the technique (myself included)

I presume you don't engage in copyright enfringement, and pay royalties every time you configure mics in that pattern?  I know I do.

royalties,...
This one really tweaked at me for a long time. Because of this patent, Sennheiser quit producing a great set of stealth mics that they'd created  (in metamorphic fashion), from around 1928 or 1930 or so, until the patent was filed. They eventually became the MKE2002 omni's set, and then the threat of lawsuits, yadda yadda,.... /production


I like baffled omnis better than anything, as the most fitting title, but hrtf is just so damn fast to type. Pretty much, anymore, hrtf is when its head worn, and j-disc if its not.

That sucks!  Thanks for pointing out my typo!   Kinda sounds like "Monster" copyrighting the word "Monster" - pretty lame.   Someday I'm going to start a company, and copyright the word "the".

Someday I'm going to start a company, and copyright the word "the".

Too late.  I'll expect your royalty payment in the mail tomorrow.

Thanks for all the info Moke.  This thread and a few others have raised my interested in the dpa's...i smell an upgrade early next year
