One-point stereo system

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Denon company used the term One Point Recording for their use of a single stereo microphone system for concert recordings. During the CD marketing of some audiophile digital recordings , Denon emphasized that this deliberate omission of additional support microphones would improve the natural spatiality of the recording.

The little-documented technical implementation of the Denon-One-point stereo system corresponds well known AB stereophony with two diffuse field equalized omnidirectional microphones.

The term one-point stereo system is also used for all recordings in which only a single main microphone without “cantilevers” and “supports” (e.g. runtime stereophony, XY stereophony , equivalence stereophony ) is used.
