Abstract

Head-related recording and reproduction systems rely on the two-ear microphones of a dummy head. However, the dummy head is sometimes difficult to use, e.g., due to size and weight. Additionally, its geometry, which gives the important diffraction pattern information for sound localization, is fixed. A microphone array, which approximates the head-related transfer functions, has fewer restrictions. Theoretical evaluation of a simple microphone array, which takes psychoacoustic-determined frequency weights for phase and magnitude into account, is presented. Results of practical sound localization test with this array are reported for sound sources in the horizontal plane. [Work supported by the German Science Foundation (DFG).]
