Head-related stereophony-an aid for the comparison and critical examination of different room effects
Abstract
For making reliable psychological heating comparisons and examinations of different rooms it is necessary to record the sound field at the position of the listener. In carrying out the test an artificial head was used whose dimensions were copied from a real head. The model included outer ears each with its canal to which the microphones were coupled. The response of this artificial ear system was measured and compared with the characteristics of natural hearing. A good agreement was found. Further observations confirmed that the artificial head recordings and reproduction procedure can be used for acoustical testing of rooms.
