Hi Augustine
Just to add some further detail:
It is well-known that you can have a convincing stereophonic system
with 6 speakers, providing a full circle of sound
in the horizontal plane.
(Or a 7.1 system, if keeping a "cinema" center channel at 0ยบ and some
LFE channel.)
(A four-speaker system is probably a compromise...)
Convinving height:
In which way would your system differ from VBAP?
(You said you are applying amplitude panning law.)
Thanks,
Stefan

PS should have said " . I can get a fairly convincing full circle of sound
in the horizontal plane with just 4 speakers"

Thanks for the detailed explanation. I can get a fairly convincing full
circle of sound in the horizontal plane with just ordinary amplitude
panning and the correct panning law - in fact I can get fairly convincing
height too using some bespoke techniques I've developed. - I assume you
mean the gaps between the speaker sin the panning are better filled with
your system ?
The proof is in the pudding of course - Can you recommend a good
ambiophonics plugin I could test in the studio,
all the best

Ambiophonics does not use any HRTF filters, filters of any kind, head
tracking, special speakers, or custom recordings. It is fully recursive
and
provides two easy to use adjustments to optimize the crosstalk
cancellation
or adjust to taste. It is also designed to use narrow speaker angles so
that the pinna direction finding mechanism is optimized for the central
localization region. It also provides a full circle of sound in the
horizontal plane with just four speakers from 4.0 media. Ambiophonics is
not just about XTC, it also provides envelopment and concert hall ambience
options. Transaural, BACCH, Sonic Holography, Panorama Mode, TacT, Polk
SDA, VMAX, etc. are some past and presently competing technologies. But
at
the moment there are more readily available Ambiophonics apps and
components
installed worldwide than from other sources. Probably this is because
there
are no licensing fees, these products are affordable, and they work with
standard media like LPs, CDs, SACDs, BDs and of course downloads. You can
read the AES papers and tutorials at www.ambiophonics.org and there are
loads of comments and posts on the Facebook Ambiophonics forum and
LinkedIn.
But there is no substitute for hearing Ambio yourself. Try one of the 4.0
tracks on the website.
