Now.Now.Now-this wonderful technology is called binaural recording. A technology truly developed keeping in mind the average human ear canal length. The technology goes to the extent of two high end microphones mounted in a dummy head, inserted in ear-shaped molds to fully capture all of the audio frequency adjustments that happen naturally as sound wraps around the human head and is “shaped” by the form of the outer and inner ear.
