Re: [Sursound] Surround & Binaural Mic Shoot-out thing

[Rev Tony Newnham]

Hi

Maybe the designer is ex-BBC.  Many older BBC broadcast mixer had 
reversed faders, on the principle that if you accidentally nudged a 
fader it was better to reduce level slightly rather than put an unwanted 
signal on air.  It was rather confusing once when I had an OB unit/mixer 
plus a conventional mixer for a live broadcast! First time I'd had to 
use a reverse fader desk.

it counter-intuitive as they’re used to pushing faders up for to make things 
louder and down to make things quieter. Also I found it quite tricky to make 
smooth level changes, although I guess that’s not something you might expect 
the average user to want to do.

Re: [Sursound] The BBC & Quadrophony in 1973

[Rev Tony Newnham]

Hi

This looks interesting.  I remember listening to a couple of trial 
broadcasts in the early/mid 1970's.  As an imporverished student, I only 
managed mono for the rears and a borrowed stereo receiver for the front 
channels.  Interesting though.

Most days I would agree with you: but there is always Murphy's Law to 
contend with, and the specific case of this states that a PP3-powered 
recording device will fail only when a unique event is to be recorded 
(c.f. the one that got away)!

Re: [Sursound] [OT] Recording uni lectures ...

[Rev Tony Newnham]

Hi

A deaf friend of mine had a device consiting of a microphone/transmitter 
that could be placed on or near the lecturn etc.  The receiver end fed a 
neck loop that was then picked up by his hearing aids in the T position 
(as for using an induction loop).  He said it worked fine - and he also 
used it for small meetings.  I think it came from the RNIB.  Doesn't 
solve the recording issue, but it might mean that the person concerned 
could actually hear the lecture live.

[Sursound] BBC Proms in 4.0

[Rev Tony Newnham]

Hi

It looks interesting - but access via the digital networks would be 
easier.  At least it should be simpler than the BBC's Quadraphonic 
trials back in the 1970's - that required to 2 FM receivers!  Not sure 
that my internet is currently reliable enough - especially in the 
evenings, but I might give it a try.

Re: [Sursound] BBC Streaming trial

[Rev Tony Newnham]

Hi

I use Chrome mainly.  I gave up with Firefox - it would delay starting 
while it updated far too often - and usually when I neededt look 
something up quickly!  That aside, it worked OK.


Chrome - if you have a Google account has one advantage - your bookmarks 
& start page are there on all your computers.   It also has a 
disadvantage - your bookmarks & start page are there on all your 
computers!  Id rather be able to choose what I want on start-up 
depending on what the computer is used for.  I don't need my normal 
office start pages when I'm using the computer I use for putting 
presentations together for use on church, for example.


I'd have a look at this, except I currently have no way of listening to 
surround other than a 5.1 system in the lounge.  I remember the trials 
of quad back in the 11970's, using 2 FM stereo carriers late at night 
after normal programmes had shut down. That was interesting.


Every Blessing

Re: [Sursound] Adding stereo to monophonic audio

[Rev Tony Newnham]

Hi

I seem to remember reading a review of kit that could do this - and/or
construct 5.1 from stereo - aimed at TV broadcasters.  That was just a
couple of years ago - not the inverse comb filter system that was sometimes
(mis)used to convert mono to stereo in the early days of stereo records.

Not come across that one!  I often use ORTF stereo set-ups, especially if I
don't want the pin point accuracy of Blumhein.  I'd be interested if you do
turn up a reference.  I've used the Faulkner array of spaced figure of
eights with some success.  I did read that he'd more recently added further
mics - I can't remember/find the ref. now - maybe it was in "Resolution"
magazine.  I thought I'd kept the article, but I can/t find it in my file,
and there doesn't seem to be anything on the web.  Maybe that's what you're

Re: [Sursound] Can anyone help with my dissertation please?

[Rev Tony Newnham]

Hi

My now rather old and basic Surround Sound RX actually does have a setting
called "3-stereo", which presumably synthesises a centre channel from the
stereo feed.  I've never tried it - but I might give it a go next time I'm
listening to music in the lounge.  I normally either use Pro-Logic (for
general listening) or switch to Stereo if I'm listening to stereo music
only.

Hi

Came across this in the current edition of "Resolution" magazine - although
the technology article seems extremely light as to how the system works
psycoacoustically  -as does their web-site http://immsound.com/home ,
although I've yet to read the white paper fully, it also seems rather light
- but then I suppose they want to see their gear!

Has anyone come across it?  heard it in action?  My first thoughts are that
it's using ambisonic principles - but I notice that Gerzon et al get no
mention in the list of references, so maybe not?

Just interested - I'm not involved in cinema sound (but am interested in the

Hi

The web site of the current mic manufacturers (SoundFieldLtd) say on their

" Early SoundField prototype models were developed using Gerzon's theory in
conjunction with the National Research Development Corporation of Great
Britain and Calrec Audio. Chief Designer at Calrec, Ken Farrar, and
colleagues played a leading role in turning Gerzon's theory into a real
product and Ken Farrar's contribution was later recognised by his
appointment as a Fellow of the Institution of Electrical Engineers
(F.I.E.E.). In 1993, the company SoundField Ltd. was formed specifically to
manufacture and further develop the range of products and their application
in both stereo and multi-channel audio environments. SoundField Ltd. is the

Re: [Sursound] Questions regarding a very early 'Ambisonic' LP

Hi

The microphone people are now with Soundfield ltd at Wakefield!  I'd think
they're more likely to know - but it was40 years ago!

Re: [Sursound] Questions regarding a very early 'Ambisonic' LP

[Rev Tony Newnham]

Hi Richard

I don't know the answers - I didn't even realise that there had been a
change in the UHJ spec. (It would be good to know the answers if you find
out - I've got a fairly early York Ambisonic cassette lurking somewhere that
I've yet to hear in surround).  I'm just getting round to thinking about a
system - after not having time/money for many years.

Maybe Soundfield Ltd (the now independent microphone arm of the Calrec
company) and see if they can help.

They're in Wakefield, West Yorkshire - tech support e-mail is
techsupp...@soundfield.com  or phone +44 (0) 1924 201089

The current Calrec firm are still in Hebden Bridge - a very impressive
facility (a friend of mine did some freelance technical writing for them and
arranged to show me round) but they only make large format broadcast mixing
desks these days.

Every Blessing

Tony
