BBC Radio 1 have announced that they’ll broadcast their first ever binaurally-recorded programme tomorrow morning.
Binaural recordings use two specially adapted microphones to create a 3D stereo sound effect, made to feel like you’re “in the room” with the speakers.
Rob Da Bank will get the honour of hosting the special programme, scheduled to air from 5am to 7am GMT.
