My equipment

Published by Rich Pav at 11:26 am under General

It seems like quite a few people are curious about the setup I'm using to record binaural soundseeing tours. Actually, I wouldn't recommend using the rig I hobbled together because it picks up the sounds inside my mouth and upper digestive tract. Check out the binaural mics at soundprofessionals.com instead.

But, since you asked…

  • Recorder: iRiver 799
  • 2 mono to 1 stereo jack adapter: Sony PC-239S (no doubt Radio Shack has something that'll do the same thing.)
  • recording earbuds: Sony ECM-TL1 (two of them)

There's picture of the monstrosity here.

At home I use a Plantronics DSP-400 headset and Audacity. The noise canceling mic works great. If I were using an el cheapo mic, the racket my PC makes would practically drown out my voice. And the headset came with a CD full of excellent software, which I unfortunately lost long ago.

    Can you explain to me how this setup works? I thought the iRiver didn't have an input, so how do you get this set up to work?
