Abstract

In conventional two-channel stereophonic reproduction the sound image appears only between the left and right loudspeakers. A new localization theory, derived from a model of hearing, governs a reproducing system that extends the sound-image area beyond the loudspeakers. The basic theory of this new technology and its applications in stereophonic systems are described.
