Spatial audio has been a topic of intensive research in the last decades. Although there are many tools available for developing real-time spatial sound systems, most of them work under audio-oriented frameworks. However, despite a significant number of signal processing researchers and engineers who develop their algorithms in MATLAB, there is not currently any MATLAB-based tool for rapid spatial audio system prototyping and algorithm testing. This paper presents a tool for spatial audio research and education under this framework. The presented tool provides the user with a friendly graphical user interface (GUI) that allows to move freely a number of sound sources in 3D and to develop specific functions to be used during their reproduction.
