A New Low-latency, Discrete Multichannel Virtualizer

Typical multichannel virtualization techniques that attempt to create an enveloping audio effect also result in imprecise source localization and an unnatural coloration of the sound. A processing system is presented that addresses these issues using a combination of head-related transfer functions, crosstalk cancellation, and equalization. An efficient time domain processing engine is employed to reduce processing latency. This is an audio demonstration of the algorithm in the seminar presentation by the same authors.
