BBC launches surround sound Radio 3 experiment

Trialing binaural tech for headphones

The BBC has launched an experiment with its radio that will give listeners using headphones a surround sound experience.

The BBC is offering up music that is in the binaural format that, when users plug headphones into their standard computer audio will provide 'realistic immersive' sound.

Tim Davie, Director of BBC Audio & Music, said: "We have stepped up our innovation within the BBC so that listeners can enjoy an even better experience of radio.

"If successful, our intention is to offer surround sound on a whole range of BBC programmes," he continued

"This is part of an exciting series of trials such as HD Sound, and personal control of crowd versus commentary audio during events such as Wimbledon."

The Radio 3 website is offering a recording of Nine Lessons and Carols from 2007 in binaural sound until the end of the Christmas period, so you can check out the technology.

"This experiment is an attempt to enhance the standard 'stereo' sound headphone users have had for over 50 years and, although it is only a trial at this stage, if listener feedback is positive it could offer a significant improvement to audio quality in the future," added Rupert Brun Head of Technology BBC Audio & Music.

Meh. That's nothing new. I've got a sound effects record from the BBC dating back to the 1970s which is recorded in binaural stereo.

You've just reminded me of a particular Father Ted episode (jump to 2.30):

iTunes 12 Days... starts on Boxing Day.

Damn you, and Damn my Festive Spirit.

Not only am I £40 lighter, but I'm probably going to have to give in and buy a new rig. I only had 3 games on Steam 5 minutes ago. Now I have to scroll up and down to find the one I want

And I still didn't get Deus Ex which is what I actually went there to buy

PSN maintenance, again. Just after a big beta, map pack and demo released. Seriously Sony, get a grip.

It's irrelevant to the KoA demo. But doing it a day after the starhawk beta launch is a bit odd...Mind you, these things get decided in Japan, and Japan never really gave a crap about WarHawk so...

It was more the size of the demo, the thought of downloading 2.5Gb isn't helped by Sony in this instance

fyi : megaupload and all affiliates have been shut down
