Current research into spatial audio has shown an increasing interest in the way subjective
attributes of reproduced sound are elicited from listeners. The emphasis at present is on …

A series of listening tests were performed to investigate the interchannel amplitude and time
differences required to generate various phantom image locations in a standard fivechannel …

While binaural technology applications gained in popularity in recent years, the majority of
applications still use non-individual Head-Related Transfer Functions (HRTFs) from artificial …

Listening experiments were conducted to investigate the relationship between loudspeaker
locations in the vertical hemi-sphere and elevation perception. Using a standard five …

This study examined the sound localization of a broadband pink noise burst at various
azimuth and elevation angles in a critical listening room. A total of 33 source positions were …

Ambisonics allows the reproduction of 3D sound-fields. Higher-order Ambisonics provides
improved resolution, and the promise of enhanced localisation at the expense of higher …

Previous studies give contradicting evidence as to the importance of head movements in
localisation. In this study head movements were shown to increase localisation response …

Current surround systems are being developed to include height channels to provide the
listener with a 3D listening experience. It is not well understood the impact the height …

Results from preliminary investigations studying graphical elicitation techniques suggest that
a graphical assessment language, whereby listeners use their own non-verbal descriptors to …

ABSTRACT This Engineering Brief presents a new response method developed for auditory
localisation and spread tests. The proposed method uses a flexible strip with a series of …
