Uniform Spreading of Amplitude Panned Virtual Sources
نویسنده
چکیده
The perceived spatial spread of amplitude panned virtual sources is dependent on the number of loudspeakers that are used to produce them. When pair-wise or triplet-wise panning is applied, the number of active loudspeakers varies as a function of the panning direction. This may cause unwanted changes in spatial spread and coloration of a virtual source if it is moved in the sound stage. In this paper a method is presented to make the directional spread of amplitude panned virtual sources independent of their panning direction. This is accomplished by panning the sound signal to multiple directions near each other simultaneously. This forms a single virtual source with constant directional spread as a function of direction.

Compensating Displacement of Amplitude-panned Virtual Sources
The localization of amplitude-panned virtual sources is biased towards the median plane when loudspeakers are not positioned symmetrically with the median plane. The bias is measured using listening tests and with computational modeling of virtual source perception. A modification to an existing pair-wise panning method is proposed that compensates the displacement of virtual sources. The propo...
متن کاملDirectional Quality of 3-d Amplitude Panned Virtual Sources
When a listener is surrounded by multiple loudspeakers, some of which are located above and/or below him/her, an immersive threedimensional auditory display can be created with vector base amplitude panning (VBAP). In VBAP a complex loudspeaker layout is divided to loudspeaker triplets or pairs (sets). A sound signal is applied to loudspeakers of one set with different gain factors at one time,...
متن کاملSpatial Sound Generation and Perception by Amplitude Panning Techniques
Spatial audio aims to recreate or synthesize spatial attributes when reproducing audio over loudspeakers or headphones. Such spatial attributes include, for example, locations of perceived sound sources and an auditory sense of space. This thesis focuses on new methods of spatial audio for loudspeaker listening and on measuring the quality of spatial audio by subjective and objective tests. In ...
متن کاملPsychological and Physiological Acoustics Session 2aPPa: Binaural Hearing and Binaural Techniques II 2aPPa2. Perceptual equalization of artifacts of sound reproduction via multiple loudspeakers
Several techniques for reproducing spatial sounds via multiple loudspeakers have been developed in recent years. A key problem for such techniques are comb filter effects caused by the uncertainty of the receiver position when playing coherent sounds from multiple loudspeakers (spatial aliasing). Here we studied if panning between two closely-spaced loudspeakers can create a virtual source that...
متن کاملModulatory Effects of Dopamine D2 Receptors on Spreading Depression in Rat Somatosensory Neocortex
Introduction: Spreading depression (SD) is a propagating wave of depolarization followed by depression of the neuroglial activities and can modulate extracellular dopamine concentrations in the neocortex. It has been shown that the dopaminergic system plays a role in migraine. SD has been suggested as a critical phenomenon in the pathophysiology of migraine. The aim of this study was to investi...
