Recording and Reproduction over Two Loudspeakers as Heard Live Part 1: Hearing, Loudspeakers and Rooms
نویسندگان
چکیده
Innate hearing processes define the realism that can be obtained from reproduced sound. An unspecified system with two loudspeakers in a room places considerable limitations upon the degree of auditory realism that can be obtained. It has been observed that loudspeakers and room must be hidden from the auditory scene that is evoked in the listener’s brain. Requirements upon the polar response and the output volume capability of the loudspeaker will be discussed. Problems and solutions in designing a 3-way, open baffle loudspeaker with piston drivers will be presented. Loudspeakers and listener must be symmetrically placed in the room to minimize the effects of reflections upon the auditory illusion.

Recording and Reproduction over Two Loudspeakers as Heard Live Part 2: Recording Concepts and Practices
For a half century, the crucial interaction between recording engineer and monitor loudspeakers during two-channel stereophonic recording has not been resolved, leaving the engineer to cope with uncertainties. However, recent advances in defining and improving this loudspeaker-room-listener interface have finally allowed objectivity to inform and shape the engineer’s choices. The full potential...
متن کاملA Directional Loudspeaker Array for Surround Sound in Reverberant Rooms
We present a method to enhance the performance of the sound field reproduction approach to 2-D surround sound applicable for reverberant rooms, under the constraint that only a small number of loudspeakers is permissible. The method is based on the idea of using steerable directional loudspeakers to exploit the room reverberation. In home theater applications, exact sound field reproduction is ...
متن کاملLoudspeakers and Rooms for Sound Reproduction—A Scientific Review*
The physical measures by which acousticians evaluate the performance of rooms have evolved in large performance spaces—concert halls. They rely on assumptions that become progressively less valid as spaces get smaller and more acoustically absorptive. In listening rooms the loudspeakers and the rooms interact differently below and above a transition region around 300 Hz, similar to the Schroede...
متن کاملApplications of DSP for sound reproduction improvement
Today and tomorrow’s audio and video, portable audio and multi-media applications put increasing demands on sound reproduction techniques. On one hand there is a need for reductions in both cost and size, on the other hand we wish to enhance the experience of the user beyond today’s possibilities. A good sound reproduction system is in general in conflict with the boundary conditions for consum...
متن کاملHearing Spatial Detail in Stereo Recordings (Hören von räumlichem Detail bei Stereo Aufnahmen)
In natural hearing we sense direction, distance and surrounding space of a sound source. In stereo playback over loudspeakers at +/-30 0 we perceive real and phantom sources. Auditory cues for source direction, distance and surroundings are present, but are often corrupted by the loudspeakers themselves, by their placement in the room and by room reflections due to their radiation pattern. Loud...
