This paper reviews the current state of loudspeaker-based spatial sound reproduction
methods from technical perspective as well as perceptual perspective. A nomenclature is …

Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht die beiden Schallfeldsyntheseverfahren
Wellenfeldsynthese und Nahfeld-entzerrtes Ambisonics höherer Ordnung. Sie fasst die …

This book provides a broad overview of spaciousness in music theory, from mixing and
performance practice, to room acoustics, psychoacoustics and audio engineering, and …

Wave Field Synthesis (WFS) allows virtual sound sources to be synthesized that are located
between the loudspeaker array and the listener. Such sources are known as focused …

Sound quality is not an inherent property of sounds, but sound quality happens in a complex
process which is specified by judgments where the “character” of the sound is compared to …

Sound field synthesis techniques like Wave Field Synthesis and Higher-Order Ambisonics
aim at the physical synthesis of a desired sound field over an extended listening area …

For many inverse filtering problems, finite impulse response filters are designed according to
least-squares criteria, where time-domain and frequency-domain weights are often applied …

Wave field synthesis enables acoustic control in a listening area by systematic regulation of
loudspeaker signals on its boundary. This chapter starts with an overview including the …

This chapter outlines the problem of evaluating multichannel reproduction by example of the
wave-field synthesis method. This method is known for providing good localization of …

Geometrical acoustic simulation is time consuming and can only achieve fixed impulse
responses. A new system to create binaural impulse responses, whose acoustical …
