| Localization (definition) |
|
Definition
| The way we figure out where oncoming sound is being generated. |
|
|
Term
| 2 factors of Localization |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| 4 factors of Distance in Localization |
|
Definition
| Percieved Loudness, direct/reflect ratio, high frequency attenuation, time delay |
|
|
Term
| Arrival Angle is the _______ difference between ears |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| The louder the sound is, the closer it seems. This is the _____ factor of Distance |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| In Distance, the _______ ratio is a way to localize by listening for the amount of reflection. |
|
Definition
| direct/reflect. (direct=closer, reflect=further) |
|
|
Term
| The more top end removed from a signal the further away it seems. In localization through distance, this refers to _____________ attenuation |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| The more natural delay from a signal, the closer it seems. T or F |
|
Definition
| False. For localization through distance, the more Time Delay in a signal, the farther away it most like is. |
|
|
Term
| 3 factors of Inter Aural Differences |
|
Definition
| Intensity Difference, Spectral Difference, Time Difference |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Level difference between ears |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Frequency Difference. When there is equal loudness butthere is a difference in percieved frequency, that noise is probably behind us. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The difference between arrival of signal between ears. |
|
|
Term
| The mic'ing techinque when capsules are always as close to eachother as possible without touching |
|
Definition
| Coincident pair. Think of it as the actual definition of "coincident"- Occuring together in space and time. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| (mixed array). Capsules are in the same vicinity but do not share the same axis. |
|
|
Term
| Mic'ing technique where the capsules are spread 2-10 feet or more on either side of the center line. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Coincident Mic'ing technique that requires a matched pair of cardiod condensors. |
|
Definition
| XY. 90° right angle between mics. You can use pencial condensors OR large diaphragm. Mono Compatible- No need to pan. |
|
|
Term
| Coincident Technique that involves a cardiod condensor and one figure 8 |
|
Definition
| Middle-Side (M-S). Requires Mix Matrix. |
|
|
Term
| Blumlein is a _______ coincident pair of two __________ mics. |
|
Definition
| Crossed, figure 8 mics. Great for large live stage/audience respones. |
|
|
Term
| _________ is the near coincident French technique that requires a matched pair of ________ |
|
Definition
| O.R.T.F, (Office de Radio Television Francois), Cardiod Condensors. Opposite of XY. Space between capsules is 7 inches, angle @ 110°. |
|
|
Term
| ______ is the near coincident Netherlandish Technique, using matched cardiod __________. |
|
Definition
| N.O.S (Netherlande Ompreomp Stiching), pencil consendors. 12 inches between caps, Right angle. |
|
|
Term
| O.S.S stands for ________. It was invented by _______ circa _____. |
|
Definition
| Optimal Stereo Signal, Jerg Jecklin, mid 80s. Requires matched pair of omni condensors. Near Coincident. |
|
|
Term
| The O.S.S technique involves a piece of fleece called the _______ in between two omni condensors. |
|
Definition
| Jecklin Disk. This was originally conducted with a 12" record covered in lambs fleece. The fleece filters certain frequencies betweens mics as an ear does. |
|
|
Term
| This Mixed Array (near coincident) technique uses a baffle and requires a matched pair of PZMs |
|
Definition
| Clara (Sass). Great for chamber reverb. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Spaced. 2-10ft on either side of the center line. It's used as an easy way to get a great, wide washy sound. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Uses two matched figure 8 condensors 8 inches apart. |
|
|
Term
| Decca Tree utilizes how many mics and what kind? What perspective does it replicate? What effect is used? |
|
Definition
| 3 (+however many rigger mics). 2 omni mics (L,R) and 1 omni mic in the center. Rigger mics are spot mics fo rlow level solo instruments. This replicated the conductor's point of view. Delay is used. |
|
|
Term
| Dummy Head is a ________ Technique, fitted with _____ mics in the ears. |
|
Definition
| Binaural. Omni. Same proportions as an average human head, used for reproduction in headphones. |
|
|
Term
| Phase cancellation occers when |
|
Definition
| two mics on the same instrument are different distances apart. |
|
|
Term
