Sound Image Localization Tests of a 21-Channel Surround System

A 21-channel sound field reconstruction system has been developed physical reconstruction of a three dimensional target sound field over the pre-defined control volume. We performed subjective listening tests of distance and vertical localization compared with VBAP (Vector Based Amplitude Panning) and the results showed that LSM (Least Squared Method) had better performance on distance localization than VBAP, and similar performance in vertical localization with VBAP.
