![]() I ultimately decided on the Sound Professionals MS-TFB-2 Now I'm ready to have some fun making some binaural recordings. ![]() I finally got around to purchasing some in-ear binaural mics! It has been on my list for some time clearly, but other sound things took priority here and there in the past based on what projects I was working on. It's hard finding great demos of binaural mics (as I would intend to use them) as video searches usually result in weird ASMR videos Great for recording and monitoring at the same time. I think there are a few video's on YT with recordings made through these. He liked the stereo image a lot better from the Soundmans. A long time recording engineer i know used both the Roland's and the Soundman (he even tested them on a head model like the one made by Neumann and Soundman) and is quite happy with the quality of the Soundman and suggested i steer away from the Rolands. The brand i've been mentioned several times is that of soundman ( ). Olivier wrote:I too have been looking round for a pair of these for my H5. Which truthfully is based on what i've read, not what i've heard I'm still deciding between the soundprofessionals and the soundman. Personally i'm looking for a pair to wear in my own ears to make enviroment recordings while on the go. They we're also good but especially considering the price difference with something like soundman or soundprofessionals i'm not particularly blown away although i can see the benefits for having them on their own stand. I've also heard some recordings from a friend made with a mic. ![]() I too have been looking round for a pair of these for my H5. Also with these, there's no monitoring.Īnybody use any of these? Any others I should check out? Thanks! I'm finding it difficult though to locate any examples. While maybe not as comfortable as the Sound Professionals might be, these look ok. These are also the cheapest of the options. I am familiar with this brand having used their countryman-style mics in a pinch and they make great mics. Not sure how much that affects the binaural effect though. I guess the downside is that the mic sits a bit further out from your ear. The benefit to these is that they have a dual function (microphones and headphones for monitoring). Of course with these, there's no monitoring. The one for $149 appears to handle louder sound. These look to be the most comfortable and secure of the options I've come across. Although, I do like the way they sit in the ear. Sound Professionals In-ear Binaural Mic $99-$149 That way I can monitor and respond appropriately to over-pressure at my drum and abort with flush if need be.I'm looking at picking up a set of in-ear binaural microphones and curious if anybody here has any experience with any of these. Should there be extraction difficulty, any residue is easily removed by a water flush. The right characteristics include the ability to extract it intact from the (airtight) silicone mold with the ability to break the seal somehow to spare the drum. What I am going to do based on this article is use the molds I have to work out an alginate mix that sets up with the right characteristics and then use that to cast the full length of my ear drum. Bane enough to have halted progress for damn near two years because I was unwilling to risk my ear drum to pressure detachment using silicone. The silicone models I've been using are imperfect near the eardrum and that creates serious repeatability problems which is the bane of this work. My project is to capture the precise characteristics of my ears so that tiny Knowles mics placed real close to my ear drum become recording devices that I can use with measurement and subsequent DSP to capture all kinds of things and transform them into other realistic things with very high fidelity and verisimilitude. I'd been using a silicone casting material to capture my canal and an otoblock to stop it just short of the drum. I actually need to get a casting of my full ear canal including the ear drum. You've inspired me to take a new look at an old problem that halted some promising investigations a while back.
