s06949 Optimization of virtual sound reproduced using two loudspeakers1) Kevin C.K. Foo, 1) Malcolm O.J. Hawksford, 2) Michael P. HollierDepartment of Electronic Systems Engineering University of Essex, Colchester, UK 2) BT Laboratories, Martlesham Heath, Ipswich, UK
An experiment on the subjective performance of virtual image accuracy
is reported when a sound source is reproduced by a 2-loudspeaker
array. Assessments are made for a range of loudspeaker subtended angle
and
loudspeaker distance to identify the optimum loudspeaker positions
for a given image location, knowledge relevant to designing multi-loudspeaker
arrays. Additionally, the effects on spatial sound reproduction due
to
different loudspeaker driver configurations and technologies are studied
including near-field anomalies.
