A measurement technique achieving high spatial resolution for sound sources within a performance venue

A proof of concept for gathering high spatial resolution sound radiation, from near field to far field, in 3 dimensions around an electric guitar amplifier is presented, with an eye and ear toward applying a similar technique to other essential sound sources. A high density microphone array is used to gather many thousands of impulse response in a hemi-anechoic space. The resulting data serves as a useful input to room models and auralizers, but finds added purpose as an educational tool in musical acoustics and sound recording.
