This committee addresses fundamental and practical topics related to the production of two-channel or multichannel spatial audio content. Reproduction systems include loudspeakers or headphones, and also focus on binaural techniques for creating multidirectional auditory illusions and perceptual immersion.

Members of this committee come from a wide range of backgrounds, including academic, government and industry research.


Areas of Concentration

  1. Loudspeaker Production / Reproduction
  2. Headphone Production / Reproduction
  3. Loudspeaker / Headphone Reproduction Conversion
  4. Head Related Transfer Functions
  5. Perceptual Techniques
