  1. Using Pressure and Gradient to Derive Microphone Patterns Audio Days 2011 Paris David Josephson Josephson Engineering, Inc. Santa Cruz, California

  2. Scalars and Vectors • nondirectional/pressure/scalar • responds to pressure from any direction • directional/pressure-gradient/vector • responds to difference in pressure between two points

  3. Pressure Response

  4. Pressure Response

  5. Pressure Gradient Response

  6. Pressure Gradient Response

  7. Cardioid pattern + =

  8. What is B-Format? • signal format for Ambisonics • W – omnidirectional (pressure) • X – figure-8 (cos ) facing front-to-back • Y – figure 8 facing side-to-side • Z – figure 8 facing up-to-down

  9. Native B-format • omnidirectional mic produces W signal • front-facing bidirectional mic produces X • side-facing bidirectional mic produces Y • (optional) up-down mic for Z

  10. Set pattern with ratio of W to X a + b cos() a ... is how much of the omni (W) b ... is how much of the fig-8 (X)

  11. + = X + Y = another figure-8 ...pointed at an angle corresponding to the ratio of X and Y

  12. 5.1 from B-format • FC = aW + bX (where a/b sets pattern) • FL = aW + bX + cY • FR = aW + bX - cY • SL = aW - bX + cY • SR = aW - bX - cY • LFE = low passed W
