The paper will look into the practicalities of recording surround sound with height information as well. Based on a standard 5.1 system, but with four additional loudspeakers for height: centre front, centre rear, hard left and hard right in a cross formation. Various microphone combinations will be shown and discussed, as well as their use in recording sessions. Also on show will be a microphone Mike Skeet has designed for co-incident recording with height and the reasons for its design will be explained.
