Abstract: In this research we compare subjective judgments of azimuth obtained by three methods: Vector-Based Amplitude Panning (VBAP), VBAP mixed with binaural rendition over loudspeakers (VBAP + HRTF), and a newly proposed method based on equalizing spectral energy. In our results, significantly smaller errors were found for the stimuli treated with VBAP and HRTFs; differences between the other two treatments were not significant. Regarding spherical dispersion of the judgments, VBAP results have the greatest dispersion, whereas the dispersion on the results of the other two methods were significantly smaller, however similar between them. These results suggest that horizontal localization using VBAP methods can be improved by applying a frequency dependent panning factor a opposed to a constant scalar as commonly used.
