L INKWITZ L AB Accurate sound reproduction from two loudspeakers in a living room 13-Nov-07 (1) Siegfried Linkwitz

L INKWITZ L AB Measurement & listening room B A M D 13-Nov-07 (2)

L INKWITZ L AB Claim #1 Playback of a recording over two loudspeakers can only create an auditory illusion of the original event 13-Nov-07 (3)

L INKWITZ L AB Confusing cues must be minimized to strengthen the illusion of “being there” 13-Nov-07 (4)

L INKWITZ L AB Confirmed confusing cues from the loudspeakers On-axis frequency response variations Resonance / stored energy Non-linear distortion Cabinet edge diffraction 13-Nov-07 (5)

L INKWITZ L AB Confirmed confusing cues from the room Modes / Resonances Reflections 13-Nov-07 (6) Left-right symmetry Delayed vs. direct sound Spectral content Decay rate

L INKWITZ L AB Questionable cues from loudspeakers and room Off-axis frequency response Floor reflection 13-Nov-07 (7)

L INKWITZ L AB Claim #2 To minimize confusing cues from loudspeakers and room requires: Symmetry of reflections rel. to direct sounds Delay of reflections >6 ms Spectrum of reflections = direct sound 13-Nov-07 (8)

L INKWITZ L AB Spectrum of reflections = direct sound requires: Frequency-independent polar response Omni-directional Bi-directional, dipolar Cardioid loudspeaker 13-Nov-07 (9) Frequency-independent room surface attenuation/diffusion

L INKWITZ L AB Symmetry and delay of reflections requires rooms with: Symmetrical loudspeaker-listener setup Loudspeakers >1 m from large surfaces 13-Nov-07 (10)

L INKWITZ L AB Room-Loudspeaker-Listener layout 13-Nov-07 (11)

L INKWITZ L AB Measurement & listening room B A M D 13-Nov-07 (12)

L INKWITZ L AB Two types of loudspeakers 13-Nov-07 (13)

L INKWITZ L AB Dipole Monopole Left speakerRight speaker from 200 ms impulse response time record Room response at A Dipole Monopole 13-Nov-07 (14)

L INKWITZ L AB Room reflections and their measurement 13-Nov-07 (15) Tone burst test signal

L INKWITZ L AB 3 kHz burst response at A during 50 ms 13-Nov07 (16)

L INKWITZ L AB Power spectrum during 50 ms of 3 kHz burst 13-Nov-07 (17)

L INKWITZ L AB OBSERVATION The dipolar and monopolar loudspeakers sound almost identical in spectral balance and clarity despite their differences in measured room response and burst response. Phantom imaging is very similar, precise, but with greater depth for the dipole. Loudspeakers and room “disappear” 13-Nov-07 (18)

L INKWITZ L AB HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE? Sound stream segregation & integration from onset, timbre, duration, loudness, direction, distance cues Our perceptual “acoustic horizon” is variable and adapts by attention 13-Nov-07 (19) “This is your brain on music”, Levitin, 2006 “Spaces speak, are you listening?” Blesser & Salter, 2007 “Auditory scene analysis”, Bregman, 1990

L INKWITZ L AB EVOLUTION OF SPATIAL HEARING Adaptation to the different acoustic properties of forest and savanna Survival by attention to cues for direction and distance of a threat Ignoring stationary, non-threatening sounds Adaptation to listening in modern closed spaces 13-Nov-07 (20)

L INKWITZ L AB THE PRECEDENCE EFFECT IN A ROOM Localization Direct and reflected sound are heard as a single entity from the location of the direct sound. The Haas effect Integration of a direct sound with a delayed sound adding loudness De-reverberation We are not normally much aware of reverberated sound even when its energy is larger than that of the direct sound William M. Hartmann, Nov-07 (21)

L INKWITZ L AB Guenther Theile’s Association Model 13-Nov-07 (22) Perception of Reproduced Sound 1987

L INKWITZ L AB Two-channel playback in a normal living space can provide an experience that is fully satisfying. Loudspeakers and room disappear and the illusion of listening into a different space takes over. 13-Nov-07 (23)

L INKWITZ L AB Omni-directional loudspeaker design issues 13-Nov-07 (24) Driver size/ Xmax

L INKWITZ L AB Monopole - Dipole 13-Nov-07 (25)

L INKWITZ L AB Dipole loudspeaker design issues 13-Nov-07 (26) Baffle size/ Xmax

L INKWITZ L AB Building a cardioid loudspeaker 1 - Summation of coincident omni source and dipole source C = 1/2 + 1/2 cos(  ) 2 - Gradient loudspeaker Summation of two spaced omni sources, one delayed electrically by T = d/c 3 - Resistance box Rear wave delayed by acoustic RC lowpass filter T = 2/RC = d/c with R = 411 Ns/m 3 13-Nov-07 (27) Benefits?

L INKWITZ L AB Claim #2 Polar response - Spectrum of reflections Loudspeaker placement - Delay of reflections and current practices Loudspeaker construction Loudspeaker setup Room treatment materials Room equalization methods Recording techniques 13-Nov-07 (28)

L INKWITZ L AB Two-channel Stereo vs. Surround sound What am I missing? Complete Envelopment 13-Nov-07 (29) What am I gaining? Believability Satisfaction Simplicity

L INKWITZ L AB Thank you for your attention Questions? 13-Nov-07 (30)

L INKWITZ L AB Rear tweeter contribution to dipole loudspeaker D (12) Frequency response Reflections

L INKWITZ L AB 3 kHz burst response at B during 400 ms (15)

L INKWITZ L AB Rectified burst response of D at location A for different frequencies during 100 ms (16)

L INKWITZ L AB (1) Left-right symmetrical (2) Delayed >6 ms (3) Attenuated copies of the direct sound in spectral content Confusing cues from the room are minimized if the reflections are: HYPOTHESIS (18)

L INKWITZ L AB Impediments to creating a realistic impression of an acoustic event Inadequate polar response of typical box loudspeaker designs Insufficient dynamic range of the loudspeakers Loudspeaker placement too close and non-symmetrical to the room walls Room treatment with absorbers and diffusers which change the spectral content of reflections Electronic room equalization above bass frequencies Recordings with too many microphones and in separated spaces (21)
