sound pod for stereo microphones
Submitted by Andrew Taylor on Tue, 07/03/2007 - 08:22.
Andrea USB Sound Pod - mono
Andrea USBD-2A - windows driver only
Buddy USB Pod 5G - mono
VXI Full Duplex USB Pod - can't find specs?
Edirol UA-1EXe - microphone input mono?, no linux driver
Sound Devices USBPre - no linux driver
m-audio mobilepre - prefer something simpler/cheaper
I build field systems for recognizing/capturing animal (frog, bird, ...) sounds. The systems have custom stereo mics (knowles waterproof capsules) connected to a Griffin iMic for sound capture. The iMic is noisy - much of the noise can be removed with a comb filter - but I'd still like to find a better alternative.
The Andrea USBD-2A looks a good possibility but seems to need proprietary windows-only drivers and my systems use Linux on a little ARM board (devices which work with the standard windows drivers seem to work on Linux even if the manufacturers don't support it). A few other potentially suitable devices I've found aren't binaural.
A list of devices I've checked out is appended. Suggestions, corrections or other advice would be most welcome.
