As multichannel systems grow in popularity, audio professionals must make an informed decision when choosing a correct capturing method to deliver their vision. Many of today’s microphone arrays that are catered for surround sound with height, employ traditional spaced surround techniques that are aided by an additional array in the upper plane and are widely used to capture a performance in large spaces. This paper uses a perceptual study to evaluate a fully coincident microphone array Double-MSZ and a semi-coincident array Twins Square on Envelopment, Localization and Spatial Impression in a small recording studio environment. The study revealed overall lower widths, better localization, and a more stable vertical imaging for Double-MSZ, while the Twins Square technique exhibited higher ensemble envelopment and a more spacious perceived environment.
