Approximated Virtual Source Imaging System for a Pair of Closely Spaced Loudspeakers

Abstract

SUMMARYThis paper presents an approximated virtual source imaging system based on crosstalk cancellation with a pair of closely spaced loudspeakers. Utilizing the frequency-dependent relative importance of sound localization cues, the proposed system provides separate approximations for the low-and high-frequency bands. Experimental results show that the system provides good approximations within ±55 • in the stereo dipole setup with natural sound quality. key words: sound cues, stereo dipole, virtual source imaging
