    Re-Panning of Directional Signals and its Impact on Localization

abstract = {For multichannel audio reproduction systems, it is crucial to set up the
speakers correctly according to the multichannel format's specification.
Especially, the predefined angle of every speaker with respect to the
listening position must be strictly kept to avoid spatial distortions of
virtual sources, the so called phantom sources. In a normal living room
environment, a specification compliant setup is usually not possible. This
means, the resulting audio scene may differ heavily from the originally
intended scene, i.e., the phantom sources' positions change. To mitigate
these spatial distortions, we propose a re-panning method of directional
signals. The method groups pairs of adjacent loudspeakers into segments,
analyses the DOA within each segment by means of a direct-ambience
decomposition and re-renders the direct components with respect to the
actual reproduction setup. The re-panning method was perceptually evaluated
by means of a localization listening test.},

    Down-Mixing Using Coherence Suppression

    @inproceedings{Adami.2014,
author = {Adami, Alexander and Habets, Emanu{\"e}l A. P. and Herre, Juergen},
abstract = {A common problem in audio signal processing is to mix two or more signals
into one sum signal. The mixing procedure usually introduces some signal
impairments, especially if two signals contain similar but phase shifted
signal components. Summing up such signals results in severe comb-filter
artifacts. In this paper, we propose a novel method of mixing two signals
into one down-mix signal which prevents comb-filter effects. This is
achieved by suppressing the coherent signal parts of one input signal prior
to mixing. During the down-mixing, a scaling gain is applied ensuring the
preservation of overall signal energy. Furthermore, a phase-align extension
to the down-mixer is introduced. The proposed down-mixer is evaluated
qualitatively in comparison with two existing down-mix approaches as well
as quantitatively by means of a distortion analysis.},
