Title: Binaural set up- the practical side
Post by: Rade on November 07, 2008, 07:46:16 AM
Hi everyone and sorry for maybe a very basic question,

But I'm just wondering how do most of you place your mics when doing binaural recordings?
I know that they should be inside your ear, facing outwards.
Do you tape the actual mics onto headphone earpieces?
I've got a pair of DPA 4060s which I'll be using for my recordings.
Any photos or tips are more than welcome.
Thanks a bunch!

All the best,
Rade

I have mics that go in-ear (SP-TFB-2 (http://www.soundprofessionals.com/cgi-bin/gold/item/SP-TFB-2)) and over ear (http://www.digifishmusic.com/public/images/Freesound_Cascade_Tour.jpg), and (despite discussions about how the Pinna (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinna_(anatomy)) affects the sound) it makes no meaningful difference to the sound as far as I can tell.
