Multichannel Microphone Array Design

5 Channel Microphone Array Design for
SURROUND SOUND RECORDING
using SUPERCARDIOID Microphones

The first stage in the selection of a specific Multichannel Microphone Array
is the choice of the Front Triplet Coverage

The Front Triplet Coverage determines the part of the original sound field that will be reproduced by the front set of loudspeakers. The left front segment (in red), as defined by the Front Triplet Coverage characteristics, will be reproduced between the left-hand front loudspeaker and the centre loudspeaker, whilst the right front segment (in green), will be reproduced between the centre and the right-hand loudspeakers, as shown in the red and green segments of the multichannel loudspeaker configuration shown on the right..
