Dan Hemingson's download site related to AES

The files on this site are related to a paper I presented at the 128th Audio Engineering Society Conference in London, England in May, 2010. Permission for the use of these files is granted for educational use only, with credits appreciated. Permission is not granted for republication in any form, although links to this page are permitted. Please do not link directly to the files as they are subject to location changes. Filesets may be changed from time to time.

All of the filesets included here are from Experimental 2, also called Exp2. No comparison was made with other tetrahedral microphones for this paper. Exp2 simply stands on its own merits.

Pre-print copies of the paper were available at the AES Conference in London. The paper is currently available online and via download as a pdf. Click AES_128_8125 to view or download the paper.

The paper reports on the redesign of the microphone based on the "future work" section of my AES_126th paper, from suggestions made by folks gracious enough to let me record their work, and from comments from those who have reviewed my construction and recordings. The new design significantly improves its sound pressure capabilities, portability and ruggedness, gain-setting repeatability, and acceptance in the concert hall. It has become a device which can meet the needs of students and experimenters interested in learning about ambisonic surround recording.
