The release of the high capacity storage medium DVD has revived the interest in multichannel surround sound systems and now demands methods of how to judge the phantom images produced. The application of a model of the localization process in the brain of humans on dummy head recorded signals is presented, to judge whether a given sound reproduction is working as intended under free-field and reverberant conditions. Comparisons between measured localization blur and results derived in localization experiments using real humans are reported.
