All-Round Ambisonic Panning and Decoding

摘要

All-Round Ambisonic Panning (A11RAP) is an algorithm for arbitrary loudspeaker arrangements, aiming at the creation of phantom sources of stable loudness and adjustable width. The equivalent All-Round Ambisonic Decoding (A11RAD) fits into the Ambisonic format concept. Conventional Ambisonic decoding is only simple with optimal loudspeaker arrangements for which it achieves direction-independent energy and energy spread, the estimated phantom source loudness and width. A11RAP/A11RAD is still simple but more versatile and utilizes the combination of a virtual optimal loudspeaker arrangement with Vector-Base Amplitude Panning.
