Audio files recorded with a KEMAR mannequin in the ISVR Small Anechoic Chamber where two reflectors were installed. The sound source was a 16 channel linear loudspeaker array driven with a white noise convolved with appropriate beamforming filters and panning gains. By using different combination of beamforming filter and panning gains, the sound generated by the array would bounce off the reflectors and should give listeners the perception of a sound source coming from a given direction.
The audio files are stored in the wav
directory.
The file naming convention is as follows:
BEAMFORMING-ALG_DIRECTION-IN-DEG.wav
where BEAMFORMING-ALG is either DAS (Delay and Sum) or WPMM (Weighted Pressure Matching Method).
