Freesound Forums

Listening to soundrecordings made in the 360 degree surround pattern mode of the Zoom H2,
I found out that the directional sensitivity is bad. Even the stereo recording sounds mono.
The front/back channel separation is the same story.
So I had to turn the microphones in 4 times 90 degree. With 2 crossed disk's on top of the H2,
the directional resolution is now much better. The instruction video you can find on:

Maybe there are other ways to get better results; this is one. I hope to have some discussion
with other H2 owners about this theme.

wow, very cool... it would be nice to hear before and after comparisons, right here on freesound...

Bram, thinking of the before and after comparison I have to find an other unmodified H2 first.
How to play Dolby 5.1 file's (ac3) on freesound?

freesound supports N-channel wave files.

the preview will of course be only two channels, but those with surround sound gear can download the originals and listen to those.

downmixed to two channels?

it grabs the first two channels.
but this might change in the future...

yeah, would make more sense to downmix to two channels for the preview ...
