So let me state what I think is correct, one can have their ears+amp profiled then this can be mixed with a room profile from someone else. Am I correct here?

You'll see from the pictures that the demonstration set up shows a transmitter on top of the headphones and a receiver on top of the television. This means that when you move, the Realiser makes it sound as if your position has changed in relation to the sound emitted from the virtual speakers. |

Yes So... that's all achieved by varying the timing, frequencies, amplitude, etc. for multiple segments of the sound waves, and the contrast between those when heard by a particular listener via the speaker system vs their headphones? Yes That is... the "Realiser" adjusts all those parameters to reproduce the same timing, frequencies, amplitude, etc. for multiple segments of the sound waves, when heard by the listener via his heaphones, as when those are/were heard by the listener via the specific speakers in a particular room - so that the sound seems to be coming primarily from the front, with greater spacial properties? Yes Does this technique then "adjust / adapt" for the variations in various headphones and set ups, then - since its adapting all of those parameters to recreate the sound heard from the speakers, etc., given a particular set of phones and set up - essentially eliminating unique charactersitics of the phones and set up??? So that it makes less difference whether the listener is listening via Grados, or Senns, or AKGs, or whatever, since its adapting their sound to the sound of the speakers, room, etc.??? |
