STC Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I have been using Arnesen: MAGNIFICAT 4. Et misericordia Nidarosdomens jentekor & TrondheimSolistene from 2L.no as one of my reference for a number of years. Due to my NAS failure, I was rearranging all my music files where I noticed that the very first download of the Magnificat was a 4 channel track and NOT 5.1. Anyone else got the 4.0 track? BTW, I have 2.0 and 5.1 version too. ST My Ambiophonics System with Virtual Concert Hall Ambience Link to comment
STC Posted January 29, 2019 Author Share Posted January 29, 2019 No one? How about you, @Kal Rubinson? I think this is important because that means the original recording was probably 4 channel track and subsequently scaled to 5.1 and 9.1.

mansr Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 They are probably different mixes made from a recording with even more channels. Link to comment

That might be a reasonable inference but I don't think it is certain. I do not have a 4.0 version but Morten might have made one by down-mixing. 😉 Kal Rubinson Senior Contributing Editor, Stereophile Link to comment

But why 4.0? I must have gotten it from the testbench in 2014 or 2015. In the booklet, I don't see microphones for height information. Most likely the were added later in mixing. Artificial height sound? ST My Ambiophonics System with Virtual Concert Hall Ambience Link to comment

Artificial height sound? Look at this photo from the 2L website: You can see 9 microphones on a pole in front of the conductor. STC 1 Link to comment

I could access the booklet this morning where they showed only 5 microphones in the diagram. I am now unable to see the full page in Edge and Chrome .
