Spaciousness and Localization in Listening Rooms and Their Effects on the Recording Technique

Authors: Griesinger, David

Journal of the Audio Engineering Society · Volume 34 · Issue 4 · pp. 255–268 · April 1986

Abstract

Low-frequency localization and spaciousness are altered by conventional loudspeakers and positions, especially in small (40 m(3) or less) listening rooms. Many common loudspeaker placements produce poor spaciousness and reduced low-frequency separation when excited by either coincident or pan-potted recordings. When this effect is corrected electronically by increasing separation at low frequencies, coincident microphone techniques produce superior sounding recordings in a wide variety of playback environments.
