Surround with Fewer Speakers
نویسنده
چکیده
Multichannel audio is now widely available to the consumer. These multichannel formats demand numerous loudspeakers. While five or more loudspeakers in the room may be acceptable to the enthusiast, to the normal consumer this is an undesirable compromise. A more widely acceptable compromise, however, is likely to be a small reduction in the surround performance in exchange for fewer 'boxes' around the room.

1 Multichannel matrix surround decoders for two - eared listeners
Although film matrix surround decoders are primarily four channel devices, with a single channel devoted to sound the sides and the rear, in practice there are almost always two or more surround speakers. These speakers are driven in parallel, with in some cases a delay modulation to “decorrelate” the single surround channel. There is substantial interference between the various loudspeakers, r...
متن کاملLocating Sounds Around the Screen
Today's large-size computer screens can display a wealth of information easily enough to overload the user's visual perceptual channel. Looking for a remedy for this effect, we research into providing additional acoustic cues through surround sound speakers mounted around the screen. In this paper, we demonstrate the results of user evaluations of interaction with screen elements using the surr...
متن کاملThe Black Box
The Black Box is a site based installation that allows users to create unique sounds through physical interaction. The installation consists of a geodesic dome, surround sound speakers, and a custom instrument suspended from the apex of the dome. Audience members entering the space are able to create sound by striking or rubbing the cube, and are able to control a delay system by moving the cub...
متن کاملSurround-Masking Affects Visual Estimation Ability
Visual estimation of numerosity involves the discrimination of magnitude between two distributions or perceptual sets that vary in number of elements. How performance on such estimation depends on peripheral sensory stimulation is unclear, even in typically developing adults. Here, we varied the central and surround contrast of stimuli that comprised a visual estimation task in order to determi...
متن کاملEnhanced Constant Power Panning Law for Surround Sound Systems
In this paper, we propose enhanced constant power panning (CPP) law which improves sound localization accuracy for two channel and multi-channel surround speaker layouts. Conventional CPP laws have different sound direction from panning angle, especially when the speakers are spread out widely. To overcome this drawback, we define a target angle and derive it by using directional psychoacoustic...
