It’s a 320kbps AAC audio stream and you can listen using normal headphones or in-ear buds. Just make sure you wear them the correct way round, with the left channel on your left ear, and the right channel on your right ear.</p> <p><strong>What will I hear?<br/></strong><br/>Hopefully you will get an enhanced spatial impression of the Proms, much like being at the hall in person. You will only hear audio when there is a concert being streamed on the experiment. You will not hear “normal” BBC Radio 3 - this experiment tries to recreate the experience of being at the Royal Albert Hall in London, so you won't get the announcements before or during the programme or the interval talk. But you will hear the music and, hopefully, a good sense of the Royal Albert Hall acoustic and the audience surrounding you.</p> <p><strong>How was it made?<br/></strong><strong><br/></strong>It’s a collaboration with the Radio 3 studio managers who balance the live concerts. Mic feeds are taken from their Radio 3 mix and re-panned in three dimensions using custom binaural software. This is encoded into a DASH stream delivered via the BBC Standard Media Player on Taster. Unfortunately the experiment doesn’t work on iOS devices.</p> <p><strong>Any challenges and what were the solutions?</strong></p> <p>Historically, binaural recordings have only been possible using a dummy head microphone. This has limitations because you have little aesthetic control over the mix beyond where you put the microphone. We can now achieve more control over the mix of each musical performance using binaural signal processing. With these new tools we can apply the appropriate binaural filter to each of the Royal Albert Hall mic signals to convince our brains that the sounds are coming from particular directions. Mixing all those signals with our 3D microphone array lets us adapt the final audio output to the character of the piece.</p> <p>We can also simultaneously generate different surround mixes for loudspeakers, which is another advantage of this new microphone array and post-production technique. This was not possible before and is a key part of our future research into object-based broadcasting.</p> <p><strong>What are you hoping to prove to and learn from your audience?</strong></p> <p>We want to provide a new, special experience for the many listeners who use headphones to enjoy the Proms - hopefully one that portrays the music really well, and gives more sense of presence at the live event.</p> <p><strong>Which Proms concerts will be streamed in this experiment?</strong></p> <p>If you miss out on any of the following performances you can <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170912014133/http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/2913JxRtQl3ZTvw0wz5C4D1/bbc-proms-in-binaural-sound">catch up here</a>.<strong><br/></strong><br/>Prom 1 - 14 July, 7.30pm<br/>Prom 6 - 18 July, 7.00pm<br/>Prom 7 - 19 July, 7.30pm<br/>Prom 12 - 23 July, 6.00pm<br/>Prom 13 - 24 July, 7.30pm<br/>Prom 21 - 30 July, 7.00pm<br/>Prom 22 - 31 July, 7.30pm<br/>Prom 23 - 1 August, 7.30pm<br/>Prom 29 - 6 August, 6.00pm<br/>Prom 37 - 13 August, 6.00pm<br/>Prom 38 - 13 August, 9.45pm<br/>Prom 43 - 17 August, 6.30pm<br/>Prom 44 - 17 August, 10.15pm<br/>Prom 46 - 19 August, 7:30pm<br/>Prom 47 - 20 August, 1.00pm<br/>Prom 54 - 25 August, 6.30pm<br/>Prom 60 - 29 August, 7.30pm<br/>Prom 71 - 6 September, 7.00pm<br/>Prom 72 - 7 September, 6.30pm<br/>Prom 73 - 7 September, 9.30pm<br/>Prom 75 - 9 September, 7.15pm</p> </div> </div> <div class="learnings-panel__header-container"> <div class="learnings-panel__header"> <p class="learnings-panel__end-date">Pilot ended 10th September 2017</p> <div class="learnings-panel__stats"> <span class="learnings-panel__stat"> <span class="learnings-panel__icon learnings-panel__icon--try"> <div class="learnings-panel__try-svg"><svg version="1.1" id="Layer_1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" x="0px" y="0px" viewbox="2650 361.2 61.7 79.3" enable-background="new 2650 361.2 61.7 79.3" xml:space="preserve"> <g> <polygon fill="#FFFFFF" points="2703.5,391.8 2703.5,402.5 2701.8,402.5 2701.8,391.1 2693.6,387.7 2693.6,402.5 2691.9,402.5 2691.9,402.5 2691.9,387 2683.6,383.7 2683.6,402.5 2682,402.5 2682,390.6 2682,383.3 2682,361.2 2672.1,361.2 2669.6,410.3 2654.9,400.4 2650,405.7 2674.5,440.5 2711.7,440.5 2711.7,395.6 "/> </g> </svg> </div> </span> <div class="learnings-panel__text"> <div class="learnings-panel__figure">0</div><div> tried </div> </div> </span> <span class="learnings-panel__stat"> <span class="learnings-panel__icon learnings-panel__icon--rate"> <div class="learnings-panel__rate-svg"><svg version="1.1" id="Layer_1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" x="0px" y="0px" viewbox="2641.3 362.8 78.4 74.5" enable-background="new 2641.3 362.8 78.4 74.5" xml:space="preserve"> <g> <polygon fill="#FFFFFF" points="2680.5,362.8 2692.6,387.3 2719.7,391.2 2700.1,410.3 2704.7,437.3 2680.5,424.6 2656.3,437.3 2660.9,410.3 2641.3,391.2 2668.4,387.3 "/> </g> </svg> </div> </span> <div class="learnings-panel__text"> <div class="learnings-panel__figure">199</div><div> rated </div> </div> </span> <span class="learnings-panel__stat"> <span class="learnings-panel__icon learnings-panel__icon--share"> <div class="learnings-panel__share-svg"><svg version="1.1" id="Layer_1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" x="0px" y="0px" viewbox="2646.3 362.9 68.6 74.4" enable-background="new 2646.3 362.9 68.6 74.4" xml:space="preserve"> <g> <path fill="#FFFFFF" d="M2700.4,437.3c-7.9,0-14.4-6.5-14.4-14.4c0-0.5,0-0.9,0.1-1.4l-16.3-8.8c-2.6,2.1-5.8,3.3-9.1,3.3 c-7.9,0-14.4-6.5-14.4-14.4s6.5-14.4,14.4-14.4c3.1,0,6,1,8.5,2.8l17-10.4c-0.1-0.7-0.2-1.5-0.2-2.3c0-8,6.5-14.4,14.4-14.4 c8,0,14.4,6.5,14.4,14.4c0,8-6.5,14.4-14.4,14.4c-3.1,0-6.1-1-8.5-2.8l-18.2,10.2l0.1,3l17.6,9.6c2.5-2.1,5.8-3.2,9.1-3.2 c8,0,14.4,6.5,14.4,14.4C2714.8,430.8,2708.4,437.3,2700.4,437.3z"/> </g> </svg> </div> </span> <div class="learnings-panel__text"> <div class="learnings-panel__figure">54</div><div> shared </div> </div> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class="info-panel content-panel active"> <div class="info-panel__background-container"> <div class="info-panel__body container container--gutters"> <div class="info-panel__left"> <h2 class="info-panel__title">BBC Proms in Binaural Sound</h2> <span class="info-panel__synopsis">Exclusive live 3D audio stream from the BBC Proms, giving you the full immersive experience through your regular headphones!
