Conference Paper

Decoding of Higher Order Ambisonics to Irregular Periphonic Loudspeaker Arrays

Authors: Scaini, Davide; Arteaga, Daniel

AES Conference: 55th International Conference: Spatial Audio · Paper 3-2 · August 2014

Abstract

We report on the practical implementation of a higher order Ambisonics decoder for irregular 3D loudspeaker layouts in the form of the open source project IDHOA. The developed decoder, which uses a nonlinear search algorithm to look for the optimal Ambisonics coefficients for each loudspeaker, has a number of features specially tailored for reproduction in practical 3D audio venues.
