Stereo radio had not yet been implemented, so the station actually broadcasts the left channel on one frequency and the right channel on a second. The novelty wore off, and there wasn't significant interest in the technology until around forty years later when a Connecticut radio station began to broadcast binaural shows. The signal was sent to subscribers through the telephone system, and required that they wear a special headset, which had a tiny speaker for each ear. The first binaural unit, the ThГ©Гўtrophone, was an array of carbon telephone microphones installed along the front edge of the Opera Garnier. The history of binaural recording goes back to 1881.

As a general rule, for true binaural results, an audio recording and reproduction system chain, from the microphone to the listener's brain, should contain one and only one set of pinnae (preferably the listener's own), and one head-shadow. For listening using conventional speaker-stereo, or MP3 players, a pinna-less dummy head may be preferable for quasi-binaural recordings such as the sphere microphone or Ambiophone. Because loudspeaker-crosstalk with conventional stereo interferes with binaural reproduction (i.e., because the sound from each channel's speaker is heard by both ears rather than only by the ear on the corresponding side, as would be the case with headphones), either headphones are required, or crosstalk cancellation of signals intended for loudspeakers such as Ambiophonics is required. Conventional stereo recordings do not factor in natural ear spacing or ' head shadow' of the head and ears, since these things happen naturally as a person listens, generating interaural time differences (ITDs) and interaural level differences (ILDs) specific to their listening position. The term 'binaural' has frequently been confused as a synonym for the word ' stereo', due in part to systematic misuse in the mid-1950s by the recording industry, as a marketing buzzword. This idea of a three-dimensional or 'internal' form of sound has also translated into useful advancement of technology in many things such as stethoscopes creating 'in-head' acoustics and IMAX movies being able to create a three-dimensional acoustic experience. Binaural recording is intended for replay using headphones and will not translate properly over stereo speakers. This effect is often created using a technique known as dummy head recording, wherein a mannequin head is fitted with a microphone in each ear.

Binaural recording is a method of recording sound that uses two microphones, arranged with the intent to create a 3-D stereo sound sensation for the listener of actually being in the room with the performers or instruments.
