Binaural Field Recording – George Street, Edinburgh
Date/Time: 12 July 2024, approximately 11:30 AM
Location: George Street, Edinburgh, Scotland
Recording Equipment: Apple iPhone paired with Sennheiser AMBEO Smart Headset — a binaural recording system utilizing in-ear microphones to capture 3D spatial audio.

This recording was made using the AMBEO headset's integrated omnidirectional microphones, positioned at the ear canals to replicate the acoustic filtering of the human head and ears (head-related transfer function). The result is a highly realistic and immersive stereo image that closely simulates the experience of being physically present at the location.

Environmental conditions include typical late-morning city ambience: pedestrian foot traffic, passing vehicles, distant construction noise, and fragments of conversation — all rendered with spatial depth and directional cues intact.

For optimal playback and full spatial effect, headphones (preferably over-ear or in-ear stereo) are strongly recommended.
