Comparison of multichannel surround speaker setups in 2D and 3D
Abstract
In the course of 3D audio, the number of channels and reproduction formats grew over recent years. The labels of In the course of 3D audio, the number of channels and reproduction formats grew over recent years. The labels of speaker positions and the names of formats are not unambiguously defined. speaker positions and the names of formats are not unambiguously defined. In this paper, existing standards and In this paper, existing standards and recommendations that deal with multichannel surround and 3D audio are compared, and it is shown that not all recommendations that deal with multichannel surround and 3D audio are compared, and it is shown that not all recommendations are comparable to one another and how possible confusion might arise. By using a more detailed recommendations are comparable to one another and how possible confusion might arise. By using a more detailed and more precise language when talking about multichannel audio beyond 5.1, communication between engineers, and more precise language when talking about multichannel audio beyond 5.1, communication between engineers, researchers and content producers can be improved. A model for distinguishing different format types is presented, researchers and content producers can be improved. A model for distinguishing different format types is presented, which can help to avoid misinterpretation. When 3D audio content can be produced, exchanged and reproduced more which can help to avoid misinterpretation. When 3D audio content can be produced, exchanged and reproduced more easily it will be a benefit for all that are working in this field. Finally, suggestions are given on how to utilize precise easily it will be a benefit for all that are working in this field. Finally, suggestions are given on how to utilize precise naming when talking about audio formats.
