London, meet Jecklin Disk.

This file was recorded on November 19 2013 at London's Euston railway station quite close to the arrivals board. It was achieved using an Olympus LS-100 digital recorder with Cad M179 microphones attached to a Jecklin disk (see wikipedia) to obtain the best sound possible.
As opposed to quasi-binaural recordings where the user attaches small diaphragm microphones to his/her shirt collar (my usual recording method), the jecklin disk can be mounted on a semi-fixed object such as a floor-standing microphone stand which it was in this case, and left for a few moments for the best possible outcome.
Using a Jecklin disk means that there are no minute movements from a person trying to stand as still as possible, and for some unknown reason, this setup is able to differentiate in front and behind sound image although I personally do not know why this is the case.
