Review Summary
2020-03-02T03:40:38
Having this brilliant binaural microphone has been a game changer. The ability for a listener to feel like he/she was part of the recording has drastically changed how educational videos are being and will be made. Watching our test listeners jolt at the sound of a door opening, thinking it was live but in reality was in the recording, or someone talking has been fun to watch as well. Everyone who has listened to a recording has commented on how cool and immersive it is. The only recommendation I'd add is to add a photo diagram of how to set it up. It might be intuitive for most folks but a simple diagram showing what goes where would help and not require the reader to dig through the Operating Instructions manual.
