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?

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.

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.

...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.

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)?

sounds nice. how far from the stacks? pointed straight or angled? with that great sound at red rocks this might be worth trying. thanks.
