How Important Is Accurate Localization in Reproduced Sound?

Document Thumbnail

A meta-analysis was conducted on elicitation studies to examine the perceptual importance of localization-specific and localization-related attributes. It was found that the majority of attributes were localization-related, including (in order of commonality) extent, locatedness , distribution, spaciousness, and movement. The most common localization-specific attribute was distance, with only 2.6% of the attributes relating to the perceived lateral position. It is concluded that localization accuracy experiments may enable experimenters to make predictions about a reasonable proportion of the attributes found, though further research is needed to develop suitable analysis techniques. In addition, more research is required to develop subjective and objective methods for judging perceived distance.
