Returning to Binaural Recording.
I was fortunate to meet Mike Skeet who specialised in Dummy Head recordings.
Mike who many years ago gave me the information on how to make a low cost Dummy Head.
His DIY heads use a foam covered plywood baffle some 180mm in diameter,
(Table Tennis Bat) with the microphones either side of the baffle around 160mm apart, set back a little from the centre.
It has always seemed sensible to damp down reflections from the baffle with a thick foam covering.
Windshields can be made with kitchen Sieve Meshes and Ladies Tights material.
Micrphones -Two TieClip type battery powered.
They were happy times recording trains in the station.
Brass Band practice nights.
Church Choirs. etc:-etc:
Any sound of interest for later listening tests.
