Brief Explanation of Holophonic Recording
Holophonic Sound was developed in the 1980s by Hugo Zuccarelli and uses the same multiple exposure premise that is used to create holographic images or holograms. Holophonic Sound is produced by recording the interference pattern generated when the original recorded signal is combined with an inaudible digital reference signal.

It appears that our brains reproduce very realistic and truly three dimensional sound within us in response to Holophonic Recording. It seems to stimulate related responses that our brains expect to accompany the sound - such as scents or other sensations. The recorded sound produced is so realistic, some people claim they can smell sulfur when they listen to a holophonic recording of someone striking a match!

While Holophonic Sound is not ready for your home theater system yet, it is being used by a growing number of professional recordists and sound designers for broadcast, film and multimedia applications. The recordings are best heard by using headphones, or through use of specially designed speakers.

The Dimension Sound Effects Library, now being distributed by Sound Ideas, is the world's first and only Holophonic sound effects collection.

Surround Sound
The 1970s saw experimentation with "quadraphonic" sound - sound that was projected in four directions, and this surround sound concept has been further refined with the creation of 5.1 surround sound. 5.1 uses 5 channels (left, right, front, back and center), plus an additional subwoofer channel of low frequency sounds to add more realism and allow the listener to "feel" the sounds.

Binaural Recording
High quality sound recordings are generally made today by using "binaural" recording techniques - a two-track recorder is connected to two microphones that are contained within a fuzzy "head". The dummy head contains ears, sinus cavities and other similarities to a human head. This means that the microphones pick up and record sound more realistically - much more like a human head hears and might record sound if we had digital recording technology inputs and outputs.
