Stereo and mono microphones most often record sounds 'out of context' so a busy anf reverberant type environment makes recordings that are muddy and/or irritating. In other words, too many conflicting room reflections and sound sources get recorded in a jumbled manner.
Coherent recording microphones is my companies specialty. Also know as DSM HRTF stereo-surround mics. Usually discreetly headworn on glasses frames of some sort and plugged directly into a mic input that can power this type of mic.
This type of mic records virtual reality audio so there is NO difference in your perception of what was heard live, or what is heard in the recording. All those room sounds are recorded ‘in context’ so the original experience, and enjoyment of the event is preserved exactly as the original.
Yes, all those sounds in the room are still being recorded, but not ‘out of context’ in a distracting, irritating, and artificial re-constructed manner as is usual with most all microphones placed arbitrarily inside a busy ambient space.
Example of the simplest Mic+Deck configuration is as shown below, but other models of deck are possible using same type mics.
Hearing recordings done in this manner is only way to get what coherent virtual recording is about.
