The combination of modern signal processing and loudspeaker development enables sound reproduction close to reality. Even though the loudspeaker system exhibits most distortions in terms of amplitude and phase response, those nonlinear responses are close to or even below the perceptual threshold. Yet, the audibility of group delay is still a topic of debate, although […]

The balance between spectral resolution and physical accuracy is a central aspect for the design of real time path based auralization systems. The main problem is that reducing frequency resolution lowers processing costs but can significantly change the spectral representation of propagation effects. To investigate this, a systematic study of air attenuation, reflection and diffraction […]
