It, along with Zuccarelli, rose to fame in 1983 with the release of a recording entitled Zuccarelli Holophonics (The Matchbox Shaker) released in the UK by CBS which consisted entirely of short recordings of sound effects designed to show off the system. Holophonics was created by Argentine Hugo Zuccarelli in 1980, during his studies at the Politecnico di Milano university. 2 Recordings released using holophonics.
On the contrary, there is abundant literature proving that properly presented spatial cues via HRTF synthesis (mimicking binaural heads) or binaural recording is adequate to reproduce realistic spatial recordings comparable to real listening. While otoacoustic emissions do exist, there is no evidence to support his assertion that these play a role in sound localization, nor is any mechanism for this "interference" effect claimed by Zucharelli supported.
There is no evidence nor studies conducted that indicate that the Holophonic technique is substantially different from or superior to these methods, nor has Zucharelli ever published his technique, nor has he allowed independent study of the results. The effects achieved are comparable to traditional binaural recording using mannequin heads, or via more traditional 3D audio techniques via HRTF's. There has been some controversy over the claims made by Hugo Zucharelli regarding this recording technique. To optimize this effect, loudspeakers have also been specifically designed for reproducing Holophonic recordings. The sound characteristics of Holophonics are most clearly heard through headphones, though can be demonstrated to be effective with ordinary 2 channel stereo speakers. Holophonics is a trademark for a specific form of sound recording that is based on the unsupported claim that the auditory system acts as an interferometer.
