[Sursound] Question about plane waves, and the precedence effect

2012-09-12 Thread Augustine Leudar
Hi all, This is a question for those with knowledge of WFS. One of the properties of plane waves propagated with a single line array on a Wavefield synthesis system is that as you walk down the array the sound "follows" you appearing to emanate from the nearest loudspeaker . I was wondering if this

another question is - is our auditory system able to take account of the curvature of a wavefront to estimate the distance of a source or does it only use other cues such as the spektral content of the sound etc etc On 12/09/2012, Augustine Leudar wrote: > hmm - thats weird because I get this ef
