A new application of boundary technology makes possible a stereo microphone with highly accurate spatial localization. The Stereo Ambient Sampling System also captures the acoustic "atmosphere" with great detail, free from the usual phase-error induced comb filtration. Optimum results follow careful attention to microphone placement and the recording environment. The authors present practical techniques based on several years of digital recording with the system, to achieve best results for projects ranging from soundtracks and sound effects, to acoustic ensembles and symphonic music.
