S3A: Future Spatial Audio for an Immersive Listener Experience at Home

The room-in-room effect and its influence on perceived room size in spatial audio reproduction
Presentation / Conference
Hughes, R., Cox, T., Shirley, B., & Power, P. The room-in-room effect and its influence on perceived room size in spatial audio reproduction. Presented at 141st Convention of the Audio Engineering Society, Los Angeles, USA

In spatial audio it can be desirable to give the impression of a target space (e.g. a church). Often the reproduction environment is assumed acoustically dead; in practice most listening spaces (e.g. domestic living rooms) introduce significant refle...

Dual frequency band amplitude panning for multichannel audio systems
Presentation / Conference
Hughes, R., Franck, A., Cox, T., Shirley, B., & Fazi, F. Dual frequency band amplitude panning for multichannel audio systems. Presented at 2018 AES International Conference on Spatial Reproduction - Aesthetics and Science, Tokyo, Japan

Panning laws for multi-loudspeaker setups, for example vector base amplitude panning, are typically derived based
on either low or high frequency assumptions. It is well known, however, that auditory cues for both localization and loudness differ at... Read More about Dual frequency band amplitude panning for multichannel audio systems.
