For instance,
during recording a highly directional instrument pointed
straight at the microphones. That instrument will sound
quite dry, while less directional ones in the same ensemble
will sound wetter. Upon replay the listening
room adds its own reflections and reverb, but only in
function of the radiation pattern of the speaker. The listening
room treats all instruments equally. This is very
noticeable when listening to big-band music on omnidirectional
speakers. The sound stage may be quite convincing
but the brass section sounds ghostly, as if it’s
pointing in all directions. Well, it is. Not in the recording,
but during replay. The percussion section in the
meantime sounds fine.

Wird die Omni-Fraktion nicht freuen....
