My Review of the SonicPresence SP15 Binaural Microphone for Spatial Audio

I spent about a month playing with and testing a different kind of microphone for review. It's called the SP15 binaural microphone by SonicPresence.

The purpose of this mic is not to record yourself (typically), but rather to record what YOU are hearing. It records your surroundings in sometimes startlingly accurate surround sound type audio.

The idea is that you would go out to an event, a party, a pub with live music, or just outside in nature. And whoever listens to the audio you recorded will hear what you heard in the way that you heard it.

I have several examples in this episode for you to listen to. But make sure you use headphones! If you don't, it might sort of be like trying to watch a 3D movie without the special 3D glasses.

I recorded my trip to a pub with live music and lots of people having a good time. I also tested how well the SP15 would pick up stereo music versus mono with a test in my studio with mono and stereo acoustic guitar. And finally, I used it for a selfie video and compared that to the audio quality with just an iPhone and also with a RODE Wireless Go II mic, which is designed for that purpose. I think the SP15 sounded the best of all of those. But you can listen and be the judge.
