#KUNSTKOPF BINAURAL MICROPHONE PLUS#

The KU 100 is mounted to standard microphone stands at the top or the bottom side, with a 5/8'-27 female thread, plus thread adapters to connect to 1/2'- and 3/8' studs. Three powering options are available: P48 phantom power, internal battery, and external PSU (included). The KU 100 has a balanced XLR 5 stereo output and unbalanced BNC outputs. A second switch offers three low cut options, 150 Hz, 40 Hz, and linear. Thanks to its state-of-the-art transformerless circuitry, the KU 100 has very low self-noise and can handle high sound pressure levels of up to 135 dB without audible distortion and up to 145 dB with the –10 dB preattenuation switch activated. Immersive sound has never been easier: Simply place the KU 100 at the optimal listening position! Unlike older dummy head microphones, the KU 100 is compatible with loudspeaker playback, too, creating a stereo image similar to conventional microphones yet with a superior sense of space and depth.

KU 100 recordings played back over high quality headphones thus give the listeners an experience almost identical to what they would have heard with their own ears at the recording position, with stunning lateral and vertical localization and a breathtaking sense of space and a room decay that surrounds the listener. Two omnidirectional condenser capsules are built into artificial ears mounted on an enclosure resembling a human head. The KU 100 dummy head is a binaural stereo microphone. Some binaural-head microphones were developed for purposes other than music recording. Moreover, head related stereo recordings are truly immersive: While conventional stereo recordings are limited to left and right and, at best, a sense of depth behind those speakers, head related recordings create a three dimensional sonic image surrounding the listener. and (adopting the German term) kunstkopf microphone. Dummy head recordings are a much more immediate experience, because they transfer the listener into the environment the acoustic event originally took place. The result is often dissatisfactory because the original room is put into a second room. Artificial head with silicone ears for binaural recordings Soundman OKM microphones are simply plugged into the silicone ears made of oiled pine wood. Conventional recording techniques attempt to transfer an acoustic event into the listener’s environment.

Just don't hold your breath, please, as it will take some time until these new features will see the day of light. Still I don't expect 'Kunstkopf' or other quite specialised formats to be high on the list of the development team, to be honest. What _will_ make sense is the option to give the user access the undecoded output stream, allowing for any kind of further processing in the Ambisonics domain. That said, I think it's safe to say that MIR will see some big enhancements in the not-too-distant future, given the fact that its engine uses Ambisonics throughout the whole signal path anyway. *sigh*īut please keep in mind that the majority of MIR-users aren't tech-savvy at all, and reading the mails that reach VSL support I assume that most of them would vote for 'more presets' rather than 'more possibilites'. wasn't on many people's radar when VSL started to develop the undelying techniques more than 15 years ago. :-) Actually I would _love_ to expand MIR into the realm of 3D-audio, especially considering the fact that 'Ambisonics' etc. Thanks for your thoughtful suggestions! From a technical point-of-view I absolutely understand what you're asking for.
