Investigation into the impact of 3D surround systems on envelopment (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This investigation assessed a number of 2D and 3D surround systems focusing on the attribute „envelopment‟ to determine if surround systems with height significantly enhance the perception of envelopment over current 2D systems. To assess each of the... Read More about Investigation into the impact of 3D surround systems on envelopment.

Investigation into the impact of 3D surround systems on spatial audio quality (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Current 2D surround systems have benefitted from years of research which has helped identify attributes related to listener preference. Now with high definition visuals, 3D cinema, there is a need to further develop spatial audio systems. One method...

Localisation of elevated virtual sources in higher order ambisonic sound fields (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Ambisonics allows the reproduction of 3D sound-fields. Higher-order Ambisonics provides improved resolution, and the promise of enhanced localisation at the expense of higher channel counts, and increased broadcast bandwidth, and storage requirements...

Subjective preference of modal control methods in listening rooms (2012)
Journal Article

Methods to control the unwanted effects of low-frequency modes in critical listening rooms range from complex signal processing to the positioning of loudspeakers and listeners. A rigorous scientific experiment has been conducted to evaluate the perc... Read More about Subjective preference of modal control methods in listening rooms.

Future spatial audio : Subjective evaluation of 3D surround systems
Thesis

Current surround systems are being developed to include height channels to provide the listener with a 3D listening experience. It is not well understood the impact the height channels will have on the listening experience and aspects associated with...
