Fundamental Aspects of Binaural Technology
Xiao Chen · Audio Engineering · 2001
The fundamental aspects of binaural technology are discussed,including the choice of recording points,the equalization of transmission chain and the influence of individual differences on the performance of systems.Recording points for the binaural signals can be any point from the entrance of the ear canal to the eardrum,alternative to the eardrum.The point at the entrance of the blocked ear canal is the most suitable point,since sound at this point includes the minimum amount of individual information.Listening experiments show that the localization performance using these methods is quite encouraging.The listeners have the same localization ability as in real life when listening to the individual recordings．
