Sound Shadow

The area behind an acoustic baffle on the opposite side from the sound source where the sound level is greatly reduced due to sound diffracting around the baffle.

Shuffling

A signal processing technique first conceived by Alan Blumlein to correct for spatial imaging anomalies inherent in stereo microphone arrays and loudspeaker monitoring. All shuffling processes involve frequency-dependent adjustments to the width of a stereo signal at different frequencies.

RAI Stereo Array

A near-coincident stereo microphone array conceived by the Italian broadcaster Radio Audizioni Italiane (RAI) in the early 1960s. It comprises a pair of cardioid microphones with capsules spaced 21cm apart at a mutual angle of 100°. The resulting SRA is 93 degrees. This technique captures both time and level differences between channels, and is comparable to similar techniques such as NOS, ORTF, DIN, EBS, and others.
