SR3D Binaural MicrophonesBinaural audio is a technique for recording and reproducing sound that creates a three-dimensional audio experience for the listener.
It works by simulating the way human ears hear sound in real life, with each ear receiving slightly different sound waves based on the position of the sound source relative to the listener. We created the hand made and custom SR3D binaural microphone. Our microphones are specifically designed to meet the functionality and needs of the user for a truly enhanced binaural experience. The SR3D binaural microphone can be used for many different subjects, including field recording, Foley (sound effects) ASMR, musicians, actors, church services, YouTube creators, for almost anything that creates a sound! |
