Abstract
The real source localization performance of 11 listeners is studied. Models for the localization error and variability as a function of source direction and parameters are fitted to the data. Special consideration is given to the effects of front-rear confusion and its dependence on interaural amplitude and phase difference cues. Phantom image formation in the diamondand rectangular forms of quadraphony is investigated. Models for the localization as a function of stimulus parameters and interspeaker differences are fitted to the experimental data. The implications of these findings on sound reproduction systems are considered.
