Audio engineers at UC Davis have developed a new technology that delivers motion-tracked binaural sound (MTB). It's an update on conventional binaural recording which uses microphones embedded in a dummy head to capture the "location" of sound in a room. One problem with conventional binaural recording is that the sound doesn't change when you move your head. For example, if you hear a recording of someone behind you and turn your head to face them, it still sounds like they're behind you.

"The new method records through multiple microphones (eight for voice, 16 for music) spaced around a head-sized ball or cylinder. The sound is played back through headphones with a small tracking device attached to the top to follow head movements. As you turn your head while listening, the system mixes sound from different microphones, reproducing what you would hear if you were in the room."

Iosono: Equitable Surround Sound

Iosono: Equitable Surround Sound 07/27/2004 09:21 AM

Wired News profiles a new sound technology called 'Iosono' which aims to recreate the sweet spot of 3D sound in every seat of a theater. Created by one of the major developers of MP3, Iosono uses over 300 speakers arranged around a space to provide more realistic environment, one where sound can subtly move across the room for everyone listening, not just those in the middle of all the speakers. Unfortunately, as cool as the technology might be, movies theaters are already scrambling to scrape together enough money to pay for digital projection and other upgrades, and since no movie studios are currently producing movies with the Iosono format, it's unlikely owners will be rushing to install a 300-speaker upgrade for a format with an unknown future.

On today's edition of the NPR program "Day to Day," I report on IOSONO, a new audio editing and delivery system that uses hundreds of speakers and complex software to create what developers tout as "3D sound." This technology is the creation of Dr. Karlheinz Brandenburg, a pioneer of the MP3 codec, and was developed by a team at Germany's Frauenhofer Institute -- where MP3 was born.

Turtle Beach Audio Advantage Micro

Turtle Beach Audio Advantage Micro 08/18/2004 11:06 AM

I was about to unleash the hounds on Turtle Beach for pushing their new Audio Advantage Micro as a "Virtual Surround Sound USB Audio Adapter," because just about every computer made in the last five years or so has been able to do that passable (if not ear-blowing) stereo "surround" out-of-phase trick. But lo! I actually read more than the first paragraph (don't expect this to become a habit) and discovered that it also has an option to connect up the $30 unit to a real 5.1 system - via a digital TOS-LINK optical cable - to provide actual, honest-to-god surround sound. So if you look at it that way, the fake headphones surround option is sort of cool, because now the point of failure is you and your lack of 5.1-capable headphones/ears. Turtle Beach would give you more, you see, if you could just hang with them.
