Convention Paper

The Contrasting and Conflicting Definitions of Envelopment

Authors: Berg, Jan

AES Convention 126 · Paper 7808 · May 2009

Abstract

In spatial audio, the term envelopment is not unambiguously defined and the different de facto definitions both overlap and contradict one another. This unclarity may pose a problem where the sensation of being surrounded by sound is subject for investigation and analysis. This paper reviews the different concepts of envelopment in order to point to where possible problems may occur. A tentative suggestion for a terminology that can serve the different contexts of enveloping sounds is also given.
