As audio reproduction systems evolve to incorporate many loudspeakers, the potential to evoke faithful auditory spatial impressions increases. Psychoacoustic principles of auditory spatial perception, and methods for production and reproduction of acoustic ...

Various direct-ambient signal decompositions, applicable to two-channel stereophonic signals, have been proposed previously. Strategies to enhance these decompositions for multi-channel surround audio signals are not obvious. A method is proposed, which es ...

Just noticeable differences in interaural correlation (rho-jnds) from diffuse sound field reference correlations are obtained. In a three-interval, three-alternative forced-choice procedure, rho-jnds are measured for positive and negative deviations from n ...

In performing arts venues, the spectra of direct and reflected sound at a receiving location differ, due to seat dip effect, diffusive and absorptive surfaces, and source directivity. This paper examines the influence of differing lead and lag spectral con ...

Imagine that you are blindfolded inside an unknown room. You snap your fingers and listen to the room’s response. Can you hear the shape of the room? Some people can do it naturally, but can we design computer algorithms that hear rooms? We show how to com ...

When sound reflects from an irregular architectural surface, it spreads spatially and temporally. Extensive research has been devoted to prediction and measurement of diffusion, but less has focused on its perceptual effects. This paper examines the effect ...
