Conference Paper

Measurement of the Localization Performance of Virtual Surround Systems Using Synthetic Test Signals

Authors: Benjamin, Eric; Chen, Yikuong

AES Conference: 16th International Conference: Spatial Sound Reproduction · Paper 16-007 · March 1999

Abstract

Performance of virtual surround systems can be subjectively judged by direct comparison to discrete multichannel reproduction systems. Acoustic images appear to originate across the space subtended by the virtual loudspeaker locations and the physical loudspeakers. The difficult subjective task of ranking these systems is facilitated by the use of synthetic test signals that are spectrally constrained to a narrow band.
