The rig was made for capturing live performances (not especially concerts or whatever, just real world sounds) as well as for capturing various stereo systems preformances, for later evaluation.

 - Two Panasonic WM61A microphones (well regarded for their flat/smooth frequency response)
 - iRiver H120 MP3 player with RockBox firmware for lossless 44.1k/16bit WAV recordings.
 - Oddglasses. No lenses, so they should be kinda acoustically transparent :) A bit of damping next to mike should be added, otherwise there may be be HF suckout.

No heavy preamps for mikes, no hefty ADCs, nothing. This rig is as portable as your mp3 player plus headphones, it uses your head as a dummy head, and captures rather flat and revealing sound images. (at least it should :) )
For proper reproduction of recorded material, you should use your's headphones - for proper binaural recording/reproduction. I capture the sound waves as they come close to my ears, and the playback system should reproduce the sound waves near the ears - waves should continue to flow the way they came to the mike.

Office system - take 1:
http://s3t.it/data/uploads/recording-work-rig-take-1.mp3 Quite bad sounding as i've figured out. Should be fixed in the next recording... Mouse and keyboard clicks are amazing, as well as the air conditioner turn-on somewhere at the middle of recording. It captures the ambience, so it should clearly capture the whole sound system.

Home system - take 1:

Car mess...:
Without any EQ:
