Orchestra & ensemble angle
The angle an ensemble covers from the microphone position, and the distance that matches a recording angle.
Angle from width and distance
m
m
- Ensemble angle seen by the microphone
- 106.26°
- Half angle (centre to outer player)
- 53.1301°
Distance for a recording angle
m
°
From the stereo recording angle tool, e.g. ORTF ≈ 95°.
- Distance at which the ensemble fills that angle
- 6.7128m
Measured to the front line of the ensemble. Use the stereo recording angle tool to see how the outer players will be reproduced.
How it works
A stereo pair reproduces a source at the edge of its recording angle fully in one loudspeaker. Matching the angle the ensemble covers to the recording angle of your setup spreads it across the full stereo width.
Formulas
- θ = 2 · arctan( (w / 2) / d )
- d = (w / 2) / tan(θ / 2)
