Study on Optimum Rear Loudspeaker Height for 3-1 Reproduction of HDTV Audio

The HDTV Multichannel Sound Study Group, sponsored by the Hoso Bunka Foundation, has organized approximately 30 members since 1991. To obtain a practical guideline at the multichannel sound production stage is the group`s final goal. This paper describes current activity, including the results of study of the optimum height of rear surround loudspeakers for the best perception of rear sound with the 3-1 audio system of HDTV. Psychoacoustic experiments have shown that many listeners prefer loudspeaker positions which are at or above ear height.
