My initial outing did not use Bluetooth and did not have dropped samples, but was not successful for two reasons. One was my use of some older lithium batteries which failed. Second was DPA 4060CORE microphone output seems too hot causing distortion (PR-2 set to 24bit stereo mode, gain set...

Big thanks for this. I've been awaiting proper measurement test of the PR-2 My point of comparison is the Tascam DR2d. Unfortunate that PR-2 doesn't quite measure up to that ~15 year old consumer-level recorder. However PR-2 is attractive in being able to power DPA mics directly with its 5V...

It can. The music I've found to benefit most from really good, immersive multichannel playback are audio-only live performance recordings, recorded so as to convey a teleportation-time-machine like experience of being not just at the performance, but present in the actual performance space...

Thanks, I was hesitant to get too much into the recording side of things in my posts here, but I think it helps to outline the influence of both sides of the recording/playback equation a bit more explicitly, particularly the interesting symmetries and differences between them.. One of the...

Funny how stereo evolved. Instead of Left/Right as a storage and transmission medium, I think it should have been built upon a foundation of mono, with increasing degrees of "dimentional stereoization" hierarchically added to that. The mono center should be the most solid foundational thing...

I fully agree that a strong phantom-center is critical to anchor the stereo image. That's one of the reasons I record using a dedicated center microphone, even when the intent is 2-channel stereo playback. The physical, non-phantom, recorded center channel provides the concrete foundational...

Which is to say..its on the recording. But to hear that, the playback system needs to work properly to convey whats pn the recording. ie- it must be capable of convering a solid phantom center image, clear and distinct image placement between speakers, and an open and enveloping portrayal of...

It mostly comes down to managing/manipulating the signal level, phase, EQ and timing between channels. It is possible to do some things on the recording side which achieve some of what a good multichannel playback system does, even though 2-ch stereo playback lacks the center and surround...

FWIW, Following is a description along with a few conclusions on speaker placement based on my own investigation over the past 14 years or so into multichannel recording of live-performance music and optimal means for the reproduction of those recordings on the scale of a medium sized room or...

Unfortunate that you were unable to make PRIR measurements of your previous setup so that you could "virtually take it with you". I'm patiently awaiting delivery as a A16 Kickstarter campaign supporter. It's been an incredibly long wait, but I hold on to hope for delivery and their overall...

pozz wrote- "3 and 4 would seem to be the most nuanced and take the most work to get right." 3 and 4 are where things get interesting and where additional degrees of freedom become particularly valuable, both in dealing with the practical limitations imposed on the recording side, and in the...

I've done a few 2-channel stereo mixes for the musicians, some of whom sell them, but nothing released by myself and don't currently have a monitoring system setup I trust sufficiently to make sure the mixes translate properly. Now that I feel I've determined what is most important on the...

Hello all, occasional lurker here, 1st time poster. I've come to regard this forum as one of the more useful resources with a decent SNR, and this thread motivated me to register in order to join in discussion and share some of my experience relevant to the topic. Apologies in advance for the...
