Title: Free Mic setup / SRA app from Neumann (iOS)
Post by: audBall on February 19, 2013, 05:51:05 PM
Saw this today, not sure if it's been mentioned here. With the recent discussions about SRA, mic setups, etc. I thought it might be useful to some of us. The 'Gain & Level Calculator' may or may not be that useful. Considering the app is free, I hope this is the appropriate place for the post.

Recording Angle Calculator

Interactive calculation of the stereo recording angle for stereo microphone recordings and standard stereo loudspeaker setup (60°). These parameters can be varied: polar pattern, microphone distance, included angle, desired stereo recording angle and the ratio between time and level differences. The setups for time-of-arrival stereophony (time difference between two spaced microphones), level-difference stereophony (level difference between two angled microphones), and mixed setups are thus visualized. Well known stereo setups like AB, XY, ORTF, and Blumlein are available as presets.

Gain & Level Calculator

The signal levels for the complete recording chain are calculated, from the acoustical source, via microphone and pre-amp up to the input of an A/D-converter. Sound pressure level, microphone sensitivities, pre-amp gain and sensitivity of the A/D-converter are the variable parameters.
