Convention Paper

Multichannel Sound Reproduction Based on Wavefield Synthesis

Authors: Boone, Marinus M.; Verheijen, Edwin N. G.

AES Convention 95 · Paper 3719 · October 1993

Abstract

The concept of wavefield synthesis based on the Kirchhoff-Helmholtz integral equation is applied to obtain a new method of multichannel sound recording and reproduction for surround-sound applications. The aim is to obtain a good virtual sound-source localization for a large listening area. The paper discusses the principles of the method and the possibility of reducing the number of sound channels and loudspeakers without degradation of the reproduction quality.
