With the recent emergence of new release formats capable of delivering discrete multichannel surround-sound, there is a need to research unique recording methods to take advantage of the enhanced spatiality compared to conventional 2-channel stereophonic systems. This dissertation proposes a new microphone technique that incorporates head-related spatial cues through use of binaural artificial-head microphone signals sent to the surround channels. Combining this with 3 spaced directional microphones for the front channels shows promising results towards reproducing a 3-dimensional sound field. This dissertation describes a complete investigation of the proposed recording technique including an analysis of the basic concept, performance and suggested applications.
