Abstract: An improved binaural recording system (12) comprising two hollow artificial auricles (6a, 6b) mounted on two opposite left and right sides of a dummy head (1). Two microphone capsules are mounted inside said auricles (6a, 6b) having a sound collection face (15a, 15b) facing the outside of said auricles (6a, 6b) and arranged inside a recess (17a, 17b) of the artificial auricle. This system allows, in stereo listening to faithfully perceive and discriminate the direction of origin of the sound sources that move in front of a hypothetical listener according to the same direction of movement from top to bottom, from front to back, from right to left, or vice versa, of the sound sources at the time of recording. Furthermore, further microphone capsules may be provided, mounted on said dummy head.

Abstract: A device for audio reproduction comprising a rest element for the head of a user, made of a deformable material; a right lateral support element and a left lateral support element located respectively at the two respective right and left of the rest element, the rest and left lateral support elements being connected to each other by the rest element, the right and left support elements defining between each other a listening space and a longitudinal direction parallel to the lateral support elements; a right loudspeaker and a left loudspeaker mounted respectively to the right and left lateral support elements have respective sound emission faces that face towards a listening space defined between the right and left support elements. The rest element provides a housing for a portion of the head configured to arrange the user with right and left ears oriented towards the right and left loudspeakers, the right and left ears creating a listening axis.
