Comparison between mono, stereo, and binaural
​from Ambisonics

​This video showcases the difference between three sound reproduction techniques – mono, stereo and binaural from Ambisonics. Notice how at the beginning the audio is like a point in the middle, then it gains more spaciousness by changing to stereo, and finally – it surrounds you from every side when it’s binaural. Binaural audio lets you experience the recorded moments so naturally, as if you were there – such realistic reproduction cannot be achieved with standard recording techniques.

Opinion of experts

It's really great to be able to get binaural, 5.1, Dolby Atmos, and 3rd order Ambisonics impulse responses from the same sweep recording.
