Recording and Reproduction of Sound Using Wave Field Synthesis

The wave field synthesis method is applied to achieve natural reproduction of sound in living rooms, cinemas, and theaters. The approach gives a much larger listening area, with correct virtual directions and spatial impression, than can be obtained with conventional reproduction principles. A recording and reproduction strategy is presented that allows for a wave field synthesis based on a limited number of transmission channels.
