I was thinking about doing some dummy head recording and the effect on
frequency response
of using an electret capsule in a model of an ear, compared to just
placing it on the surface of a head-sized sphere.


Years ago when dummy head recording was popular I attended a demonstration
where all sorts of techniques had been used - including a real skull. And
to be perfectly honest the standard two omnis spaced apart the same sort
of distance as ears and separated by a disc approximating to a cross
sectional of a head worked as well as anything.

If you try and reproduce what the ear does you'll double up on that effect
when listening - as the ear isn't linear.
