Positioning of virtual sources

Gusev Mikhail, Pahomov Mikhail, Rozhnov Victor

In this paper describes the formation of virtual sound sources with a given direction to the source. Virtual sources are formed using a sound system consisting of 5 speakers. The placement of the speakers is determined by the sounded space and can differ from the classical "trapezoid" arrangement. A positioning algorithm is provided preservation of the volume of the source when it rotates around of the listener. The results of an expert assessment of the accuracy of sound source positioning are presented, which confirm the effectiveness of the algorithm developed by the authors.
