Abstract:Recently, new multichannel audio formats incorporating height loudspeakers have caught researchers' attention due to their ability to reproduce an immersive sound field. This study investigated the influence of the height loudspeaker positions and their signals on individually perceived sound quality. The authors generated nine-channel sound sources by convolving two anechoic musical pieces with nine selected room impulse responses measured in different distances and heights. In the listening test two layers o… Show more
“…A pilot study Karampourniotis et al (2014) found that the height loudspeaker configuration has a greater influence on the sound quality than the content (reverberation type and/or musical selection) of height-channel signals. The current study is the validation experiment of the aforementioned pilot study and uses three listener groups to determine whether the configuration is significant regardless of the geometric, electroacoustic, and cultural differences of the groups.…”
