Analysis of Design Parameters for Crosstalk Cancellation Filters Applied to Different Loudspeaker Configurations

Several approaches to render binaural signals through loudspeakers have been proposed in past decades. Some studies have focused on the optimum loudspeaker arrangement while others have proposed more efficient filters. However, to our knowledge, the identification of optimal parameters for crosstalk cancellation filters applied to different loudspeakers configurations has not yet been addressed systematically. In this paper, we document a study of three different inversion techniques applied to several loudspeaker arrangements. Least square approximations in frequency and time domain are evaluated along with a crosstalk canceler based on minimum-phase approximation. The three methods are simulated in two-channel configuration and the least square approaches in four-channel configurations. Different span angles and elevations are evaluated for each case. In order to obtain optimum parameter, we varied the bandwidth, filter length and regularization constant for each loudspeaker position and each method. We present a description of the simulations carried out and the optimum regularization values, expected channel separation and performance error obtained for each configuration.
