      Immersive Audio Systems and the Management of Consequent Sounds

      May 13, 2016 12:00 AM

      Immersive audio is appearing in modern cinematic storytelling more frequently. In traditional sound mixing, a first sound can have a tight semantic coupling to a second sound, such as a gunshot and ricochet, or a handclap and its reverberation. Immersive sound systems can direct these precedent and consequent sounds to different locations so that they envelop the audience. When consequent sounds are not managed, the psychoacoustic principle known as the “Haas Effect” can result in portions of an audience misunderstanding the placement of precedent sounds, momentarily disrupting their experience.

      A series of immersive sound examples, formally presented to subjects in a theater environment, demonstrates this problem and the effectiveness of a proposed management technique, applicable to object-based, wave field-synthesized, and ambisonic reproduction.

      The methodology used for this test may be applied to evaluate other aspects of immersive sound systems in theaters. Attendees of this webcast will discover many challenges associated with managing immersive audio.

      After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.
