Core Sound is very pleased to announce its new High End Binaural
microphone (HEB) set, using DPA's DPA4060 and DPA4061 miniature
omnidirectional microphones. We believe these to be the very best
binaural microphones available anywhere!
A Bit Of Binaural Microphone History
Our very popular Core Sound Binaural (CSB) microphones set, first
introduced in 1990, provides sonic performance unmatched at its
entry-level price range. Using extensively modified and matched
Matsushita microphone capsules, it offers amazing fidelity and very low
distortion even when recording extremely loud sound sources. Over the
years it's evolved into a rugged and reliable recording tool for
professional and hobbyist tapers alike, a standard for more than fifteen
years.
The Matsushita capsules however, have their design limits, beyond which
it doesn't make sense to modify them. To achieve the goal of a
significantly lower self-noise and a more transparent high frequency
response, almost everything in the capsule would have to be scrapped
except the diaphragm!
We searched for alternatives and discovered DPA's wonderful 4060-series
microphones. (DPA is the current manufacturer of the world-class Bruel
& Kjaer line of commercial microphones.) The 4061 (and its siblings,
the more sensitive 4060 and less sensitive 4062) are miniature
prepolarized ("electret") condensor omnidirectional microphones designed
for professional use in theatres and broadcasting. When compared to the
Core Sound Binaurals, their lower self noise and more transparent high
frequency response give them a very pleasant advantage in sound quality.
When compared to full-sized matched microphone pairs from
Microtech-Gefell, Neumann, Schoeps, AKG and Audio-Technica, you'll
discover that the sonic advantage comes with a surprisingly reasonable
price tag.
Core Sound microphones have been sold to customers all over the world,
including the United States, Canada, Brazil, Japan, Singapore, Korea,
Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand, France, Belgium, Germany, Austria,
England, Scotland, Norway, Ireland, Sweden, Finland, Poland, Serbia and
many others. They are in use by professional sound studios, research
labs, commercial broadcast facilities, multi-media production houses and
thousands of avid concert tapers.
