Abstract

The present invention is applicable to the field of audio collection and provides a fixed apparatus and an audio collection device. Multiple groups of simulated ear structures are disposed on the fixed apparatus, and the simulated ear structures have simulated ear canal openings used for placing audio collectors. The audio collectors may placed in simulated ear canal openings of the simulated ear structures of the fixed apparatus, so that collected audio signals have richer sources, higher quality, and higher stereoscopic sensation. The fixed apparatus may be used for audio recording in multiple orientations, so that smoothness, clearness, and comfort during sound field fusion and switching are ensured, more complete and richer sound field information is collected, the best sound field naturalness can be obtained, and a requirement for synchronization between a sound and an image in a VR panoramic video technology is met. In addition, a volume of the fixed apparatus is relatively small, and audio sound field restoration accuracy is further improved.
