Dear Sursounders, For those of you who are interested in some more details about the IRCAM array:
The array is installed in IRCAM's variable acoustics concert hall (15.5 x 24 x 10.5 m3). It consists of four horizontal linear arrays (with a total of 280 independently controlled coaxial speakers) that is complemented by a 3D rectangular array (with a total of 59 independently controlled coaxial speakers), and 8 subwoofers. Horizontal array: - front array: 88 speakers, 16 cm spacing; - side arrays: 64 speakers, 29 cm spacing; - back array: 64 speakers, 16 cm spacing; The front and back arrays can be used as mobile arrays for concerts (rigging structure + flight cases). Real-time audio rendering is achieved by parallel processing on a small computer cluster. The 5 computers are connected to a 512x512 MADI matrix for routing the output channels to the speakers. The real-time audio processing software (ircam spat~) provides several sound spatialization methods, e.g. WFS, (NFC)-HOA, VBAP, etc. … The standard configuration uses WFS panning for the 4 horizontal arrays and up to 9th order HOA for the rectangular array.
