Transaural Stereo in a Beamforming Approach
This paper presents a study on algorithms for headphone-free binaural synthesis using a dedicated loudspeaker configuration. Both algorithms under investigation improve the properties of the binaural synthesis performance of the array. Firstly, beam-forming provides sound radiation localized at two freely adjustable, narrow target spots. Adjusting both spots to the locations of the listener’s ears achieves a good basis. Secondly, an additional interaural crosstalk canceler improves the overall result.
