This means that any recording made with them contains all of the volume differences, delays and phase distortions your head normally causes that allow you to know where any given sound is coming from. That is to say, all of the extra information, lacking from a normal stereo recording, that allows your brain to form a fully 3D interpretation of your surrounding soundscape. Just listen with headphones to hear true 3D audio.<\/p>\n<p>I needed a little box from ebay to supply the PIP (Plug In Power) to allow me to use my trusty Marantz PMD-620, but most most modern recorders will support them directly. It&#8217;s important to note that as the phase information in the audio is essential these clips are recorded and played back from lossless files.<\/p>\n<p>I took myself off into the woods that start at the bottom of our garden and made the following recordings. The photos show what I was looking at while the recording was being made. Enjoy.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-100 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/allaboutsound.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/2019-05-11-13.34.23-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/allaboutsound.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/2019-05-11-13.34.23-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/allaboutsound.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/2019-05-11-13.34.23-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/allaboutsound.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/2019-05-11-13.34.23-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/allaboutsound.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/2019-05-11-13.34.23-800x450.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>First I went to the bottom of the garden and walked through to a clearing where I was sure there would be a nice open ambience.<\/p>\n<!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('audio');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-94-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/flac\" src=\"http:\/\/allaboutsound.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/1073.flac?_=1\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/allaboutsound.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/1073.flac\">http:\/\/allaboutsound.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/1073.flac<\/a><\/audio>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-110 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/allaboutsound.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/2019-05-14-10.36.33-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/allaboutsound.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/2019-05-14-10.36.33-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/allaboutsound.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/2019-05-14-10.36.33-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/allaboutsound.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/2019-05-14-10.36.33-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/allaboutsound.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/2019-05-14-10.36.33-800x450.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Next, down to the river.
