Every musical instrument has a specific sound radiation pattern, which is highly dependent from tone and frequency. This has been extensively investigated by Jurgen Meyer in his book “Acoustics and the Performance of Music”.
Recordings of 15 orchestral instruments have been produced to make these differences hearable for interested people working and studying in the field of Recording Arts. Those recordings have been done in a realistic environment and situation, means as stereo recordings with 14 identical AB-pairs in a concert hall.
The recordings can be listened on a web-player with the possibility to switch freely and instantly between the different mic positions.
