Returning to Binaural Recording. - Graham UK - 01-24-2025 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. Mike Skeet
