New York's Ensemble Oasis performs for the PanAmbiophone and 16 participants in perception testing & ANOVA analysis concluding that all listeners would hear significantly improved timbral, spatial, & localization accuracy from 2-channel recordings played using Ambiophonics.

Ralph Glasgal, above, and Robin Miller presented Ambiophonics at the Tonmeisters Convention in Leipzig, Germany.  Mr. Miller also demonstrated binaural bass management and Pan-Ambiophonic surround recordings.

Robin Miller, right, of FilmakerTechnology presented a paper at AES San Francisco on the PanAmbiophone microphone and on a panel with (from left) Geoff Martin, Todd Welti, Jonas Braasch, Bill Martens, & David Griesinger.

Prof. Choueiri set up to record using Neumann M150's astride a Jecklin-like disk. A custom CXC filter results in the 1-2-1 correspondence between angular locations of original and perceived souces achievable iun Ambiophonics
