Binaural Sound

This section describes the nature of a binaural sound.

Binaural relates to the two ears, and binaural recording refers to sound recorded with a dummy head or with binaural microphones (like the Genebm). Such a recording also contains the spatial information of the sound.

This technique allows you to reproduce the exact same sound pressure levels that arrive at the ear entrance into headsets. This possible thanks to binaural filters that are measured with an artificial head in an anechoic chamber.

The resulting sound is dedicated to headphones listening. Theoretically, the perception of the recorded binaural sound cannot be distinguished from the real perception.
