摘要
This article reviews the fundamental ideas of the binaural recording technique. A model is given that describes the sound transmission from a source in a free field, through the external ear to the eardrum. It is shown that sound pressures recorded at any point in the ear canals-possibly even a few millimeters outside and even with a blocked ear canal-can be used for binaural recordings, since they include the full spatial information given to the ear. The sound transmission from a headphones is also described. It is shown how the correct total transmissions in a binaural system can be guaranteed by means of an electronic equalizing filter between the recording head and the headphone. The advantage of an open headphone is stated. It is shown that a certain degree of loudspeaker compatibility can be achieved, if the equalizer is divided into a recording side and a playback side. A method for true reproduction of binaural signals through loudspeakers is also described. A number of tropical and prospected applications of binaural technology are mentioned. Some of these utilize computer synthesis of binaural signals, a technique which is also described.
