Multichannel audio reproduction generally suffers from one or both of the following problems: i) the recorded audio has to be artificially manipulated to provide the necessary spatial cues, which reduces the consistency of the reproduced sound field with the actual one, and ii) reproduction is not panoramic, which degrades realism when the listener is not seated in a desired ideal position facing the center channel. A recording method using a circularly symmetric array of differential microphones, and a reproduction method using a corresponding array of loudspeakers is presented in this paper. Design of microphone directivity patterns to achieve a panoramic auditory scene is discussed. Objective results in the form of active intensity diagrams are presented.

Loudspeaker localization using B-format recordings Günel Kılıç, Banu (2003-01-01) Positions of loudspeakers with respect to the listener play an important role in loudspeaker reproduction. When the listener is outside the sweet spot, one of the loudspeakers becomes dominant decreasing the reproduction fidelity. Compensation of the time and level differences between the loudspeakers is possible if the positions of the loudspeakers can be detected automatically. This paper proposes a method to determine the loudspeaker positions with respect to the listener using B-format recordings captur...
Spherical harmonics based acoustic scene analysis for object-based audio Çöteli, Mert Burkay; Hacıhabiboğlu, Hüseyin; Department of Information Systems (2021-2-19) Object-based audio relies on elemental audio signals from individual sound sources and their associated metadata to be reconstructed at the listener side. While defining audio objects in a production setting is straightforward, it is not trivial to extract audio objects from more realistic recording scenarios such as concerts. Thus, existing object-based audio standards also define scene-based formats alongside objectbased representations that provide immersive audio, but without the flexibility provided by...
Data-driven Threshold Selection for Direct Path Dominance Test Olgun, Orhun; Hacıhabiboğlu, Hüseyin (2019-09-09) Direction-of-arrival estimation methods, when used with recordings made in enclosures are negatively affected by the reflections and reverberation in that enclosure. Direct path dominance (DPD) test was proposed as a pre-processing stage which can provide better DOA estimates by selecting only the time-frequency bins with a single dominant sound source component prior to DOA estimation, thereby reducing the total computational cost. DPD test involves selecting bins for which the ratio of the two largest sin...
Stereophonic rendering of source distance using DWM FDN artificial reverberators Mate Cid, Saul; Hacıhabiboğlu, Hüseyin; Cvetkovic, Zoran (2010-05-22) Artificial reverberators are used in audio recording and production to enhance the perception of spaciousness. It is well known that reverberation is a key factor in the perception of the distance of a sound source. The ratio of direct and reverberant energies is one of the most important distance cues. A stereophonic artificial reverberator is proposed that allows panning the perceived distance of a sound source. The proposed reverberator is based on feedback delay network (FDN) reverberators and uses a pe...
A Method For Fine Resolution Frequency Estimation From Three DFT Samples Candan, Çağatay (2011-06-01) The parameter estimation of a complex exponential waveform observed under white noise is typically tackled in two stages. In the first stage, a coarse frequency estimate is found by the application of an N-point DFT to the input of length N. In the second stage, a fine search around the peak determined in the first stage is conducted. The method proposed in this paper presents a simpler alternative. The method suggests a nonlinear relation involving three DFT samples already calculated in the first stage to...
