Time and Level 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 determine localisation curves using an octagonal loudspeaker setup. Various signals with a range of interchannel time and level differences were produced between pairs of adjacent loudspeakers, and subjects were asked to evaluate the perceived sound event’s direction and its locatedness. The results showed that the curves for the side pairs of adjacent loudspeakers are significantly different to the front and rear pairs. The resulting curves can be used to derive suitable microphone techniques for this loudspeaker setup.

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...

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 کاملObjective Localisation Measures in Ambisonic Surround- sound
When designing sound spatialisation systems, localisation accuracy is of great importance, i.e. how well the reproduction of the sound source corresponds to the original recording particularly with respect to source positioning. Ambisonic surround-sound is one such spatialisation system. In this work the two major psychoacoustic mechanisms Interaural Time Difference (ITD) and Interaural Level D...
