Stereophonic sound or, more commonly, stereo, is a method of sound reproduction that creates an illusion of multi-directional audible perspective. This is usually achieved by using two or more independent audio channels through a configuration of two or more loudspeakers (or stereo headphones) in such a way as to create the impression of sound heard from various directions, as in natural hearing. Thus the term "stereophonic" applies to so-called "quadraphonic" and "surround-sound" systems as well as the more common two-channel, two-speaker systems. It is often contrasted with monophonic, or "mono" sound, where audio is heard as coming from one position, often centered in the sound field (analogous to a visual field). In the 2000s, stereo sound is common in entertainment systems such as broadcast radio and TV, recorded music and the cinema.
The word stereophonic derives from the Greek "στερεός" (stereos), "firm, solid" + "φωνή" (phōnē), "sound, tone, voice" and it was coined in 1927 by Western Electric, by analogy with the word "stereoscopic".
First video, 20 year old in joke. Good times.
Hearing Test in HD quality. Sinusoidal wave starting at 20 Hz frequency and going up to 20 kHz frequency. It's recommended that you listen to this using headphones. If you can't hear anything above 16000 Hertz it's probably because Youtube's audio compression cut off frequencies above 16kHz. Try watching in HD to get better audio quality.

Alexandra Horowitz illustrates how the dog’s nose can smell the past, the future and even things that can’t be seen at all. Lesson by Alexandra Horowitz, animation by Província Studio.
A compilation of test recordings made using Rode's Stereo VideoMic X. Includes: footsteps on muddy & gravel paths; running water; wildlife at the duckpond; a dog; cars; and a grand piano. The recordings will feature in our forthcoming full review over on the www.youtube.com/tubeshootermag channel. To appreciate properly the characteristics of the mic, you will need to be listening either on good, neutral headphones or a decent soundcard / loudspeaker combo. Listening on a phone / tablet / laptop using built-in speakers is almost certainly a waste of time due to limited sound quality. Note also the following aspects will affect the sound: 1) The pre-amps on the camcorder used (XF200) 2) The audio render for upload to YouTube 3) YouTube's re-render of the item for playback 4) Your soundc...

This is my first test with the Videomic X. But I've handled enough mics to say straight away, this is a really good one. Rode Stereo Videomic X http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1082671-REG/rode_svmx_stereo_video_mic_x.html/BI/20174/KBID/14247 Canon XC10 http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1134581-REG/canon_0565c013_xc10.html/BI/20174/KBID/14247 As far as on camera ambient mics go you don't need to own anything better. If you need better, rent it. It has both 3.5mm and Mini XLR, solid build, great filters, great gain and a superb sound. The samples is recorded with a Canon XC10 which has good pre amps. On a DSLR type camera that generally have weak amps the +20dB gain should probably be turned on. Twitter, https://twitter.com/MattiasBurling Facebook, https://www.facebook.com/mattia...
