Using the Holophone H2-PRO
The Holophone H2-PRO is remarkably simple to use, because it
accurately reproduces in three dimensions what one would hear at
a particular location in space. In most cases, if you have experience
recording sound with traditional microphones, you can rely on
your ear and your intuition as to exact placement for a particular
event or venue.
Here are a few additional suggestions: (please note these are only
suggestions)
1. The simplest method is highly effective. Give the Holophone
the best seat in the house and let it do its work. You will be
amazed at the accuracy of the ambient sound. For a concert
situation with arena-style seating, you might place the
Holophone H2-PRO a little higher than the orchestra, tilting the
nose down towards the performers.
2. Use the Holophone H2-PRO to provide the “base” ambient
surround sound for your mix. Make sure to give the Holophone
tracks “space” in the mix in which to further construct your
mix, bearing in mind that the Holophone will provide a
sonically complete Surround Sound picture to begin with. The
usual approach is to place the Holophone along the center line
of the event to get a sonic capture with proper left/right
balance. Aim the pointed front of the Holophone towards the
front and the round back towards the rear of the venue.
Additional spot microphones can be used to feature specific
areas or instruments in the recording, and to complete the
desired soundscape.
Remember: The Holophone’s microphone configuration
directly relates to a listener’s perspective in a home theater, etc.
Treat the Holophone like a sonic camera, keeping the center
“nose” microphone element forward, the left pointing left and
the right pointing to the right of the performance.
3. If you are used to working with other microphones in a
particular way, you can use the Holophone H2-PRO to provide
the ambient sound of a venue and build the rest of the mix
around it. Place it in a position that will not cause phase or
delay problems when used with the signals captured by the
other microphones. In most cases, in large venues try to
position the Holophone as close to “Front Row Center” as
possible, rather than near the back of the room (as with some
traditional ambient microphone techniques).
