The [JVC] headset can be used for binaural recording and playback. For recording, the headset's mikes are plugged into any existing stereo tape recorder. The headset can then either be worn (by the performer, producer, or anyone else in the room), or it can be placed on a dummy head - a sculpted head that approximates the spacings, angles and density of an average human head. 3, record 1, English, - dummy%20head
