The previous record was held by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and counted 1020 microphones. The installation is a giant sound recorder that registers white noise and vibration.In order to circuit the large number of microphones, Sorama had to combine four sound cameras of 1024 sound collectors each. They weren’t sure whether or not Guinness would consider the construction as a single system, but in the end the institute did. Two independent experts approved the record attempt on the spot.The giant recorder allows Sorama to register sounds of larger sources such as a passing train. According to the director, their device has gathered a lot of attention nationally and internationally, and the record will only increase interest.
