Cookie Marenco and Jean-Claude Reynaud developed a new technique for 5.1 reocording at "The Site" (California) over the last two years. With this technique it shall be possible to produce perfect localization, not only on the sweet spot, but anywhere else. This technique is called ESE (Extended Sound Environment).

So this would mean an elimination of the sweet spot. GREAT!

But: does anybody know some more details on this technique?

I presume you're talking about this:

Which refers to a diagram that is not included in the web version of the article.

From what Cookie & Jean-Claude told me, it involves a combination of typical close miking and a mic array which mimics an ITU speaker setup. We mastered this project last week for stereo/surround SACD and it sounds absolutely stunning. One of the most enveloping surround recordings I've heard.

I've read the article at the MIX magazine. But I'm still wondering how this works physically. What are the theoretical bases on which ESE is built on?

Do you mean the ITU circle? It's included in the pdf version:
