To assess perception with and performance of modern and future hearing devices with
advanced adaptive signal processing capabilities, novel evaluation methods are required …

The ever-growing body of soundscape research includes studies conducted both in
everyday life environments and in laboratory settings. Yet, laboratory settings differ from in …

The challenge of installing and setting up dedicated spatial audio systems can make it
difficult to deliver immersive listening experiences to the general public. However, the …

ABSTRACT A double-blind study was conducted to evaluate a recently developed
microphone technique for threedimensional orchestral music capture, optimized for 22.2 …

This paper introduces a methodology tailored to capture, post-process, and replicate audio-
visual data of outdoor environments (urban or natural) for VR experiments carried out within …

Listener envelopment (LEV), the sense of being surrounded by the sound field, is a
perception that has been found to be related to the overall impression of a concert hall. The …

Virtual reality with multichannel audio playback is increasingly used in hearing aid research.
The purpose of this study is to compare horizontal (2D) and periphonic (3D) rendering …

This article describes a quest for the GRAIL (Giant Radial Array for Immersive Listening), a
large-scale loudspeaker system with related hardware and software control equipment. The …

Concert hall acoustics is an inherently conflicted, perceptual art form that meets the practical,
engineering-based design process. What began as a trade learned on the job from experts …

This is—again—a book written by a sound engineer for sound engineers, which takes not
only a look at the theory behind '3D'audio, but also at the practical implementations in the …
