Conference Paper

The Application of Illusions and Psychoacoustics to Small Loudspeaker Configurations

Authors: Aarts, Ronald M.

AES Conference: UK 22nd Conference: Illusions in Sound · Paper 7 · April 2007

Abstract

An overview of some auditory illusions is given, two of which will be considered in more detail for the application of small loudspeaker configurations. The requirements for a good sound reproduction system generally conflict with those of consumer products regarding both size and price. A possible solution lies in enhancing listener perception and reproduction of sound by exploiting a combination of psychoacoustics, loudspeaker configurations and digital signal processing. The first example is based on the missing fundamental concept, the second on the combination of frequency mapping and a special driver.
