Localisation Curves for a Regularly-spaced Octagon Loudspeaker Array
نویسندگان
چکیده
Multichannel microphone array designs often use the localisation curves that have been derived for 2-0 stereophony. Previous studies showed that side and rear perception of phantom image locations require somewhat different curves. This paper describes an experiment conducted to evaluate localisation curves using an octagonal loudspeaker setup. Interchannel level differences were produced between the loudspeaker pairs forming each of the segments of the loudspeaker array, one at a time, and subjects were asked to evaluate the perceived sound event’s direction and its locatedness. The results showed that the localisation curves derived for 2-0 stereophony are not directly applicable, and that different localisation curves are required for each loudspeaker pair.

Time and Level Localisation Curves For A Regularly-Spaced Octagon Loudspeaker Array
Multichannel microphone array designs often use the localisation curves that have been derived for 2-0 stereophony. Previous studies showed that side and rear perception of phantom image locations require somewhat different curves. This paper describes an experiment conducted to determine localisation curves using an octagonal loudspeaker setup. Various signals with a range of interchannel time...
متن کاملSpaciousness Rating of 8-channel Stereophony-Based Microphone Arrays
In previous studies, the localisation accuracy and the spatial impression of 3-2 stereo microphone arrays were discussed. These showed that 3-2 stereo cannot produce stable images to the side and to the rear of the listener. An octagon loudspeaker array was therefore proposed. Microphone array design for this loudspeaker configuration was studied in terms of localisation accuracy, locatedness a...
متن کاملOn the Use of Irregularly Spaced Loudspeaker Arrays for Wave Field Synthesis, Potential Impact on Spatial Aliasing Frequency
Wave Field Synthesis (WFS) is a physical based sound reproduction technique. It relies on linear arrays of regularly spaced omnidirectional loudspeakers. A fundamental limitation of WFS is that the synthesis remains correct only up to a corner frequency referred to as spatial aliasing frequency. This paper addresses irregular spacing of loudspeaker array for WFS. Adapted driving functions are d...
متن کاملAlma Memo 353 Investigation of Suppression of Sidelobes by Simple Displacement O F Clustered Groups of Regularly Spaced Antennas
A means of suppressing beam sidelobes by simple displacements of subgroups of regularly spaced antennas is proposed and investigated. Previous experiments in the optical domain suggest that this should be possible, and the principle is developed rst by analogy and then by a simple analysis to encompass the radio astronomical situation. Considering the speci c example of a hexagonal array with t...
متن کاملAalborg Universitet The Single - and Multichannel Audio Recordings Database ( SMARD )
A new singleand multichannel audio recordings database (SMARD) is presented in this paper. The database contains recordings from a box-shaped listening room for various loudspeaker and array types. The recordings were made for 48 different configurations of three different loudspeakers and four different microphone arrays. In each configuration, 20 different audio segments were played and recor...
