Abstract
A perceptual threshold related to spatial resolution of the human voice directivity was determined through a listening test of similarity (MUSHRA). Directivity data of an artificial talking head measured at high spatial resolution (spherical harmonics order 35) was the input of a room acoustics simulation software (RAVEN) to build sound stimuli in various room acoustic conditions and source–receiver arrangements, with different voices. Results showed that, at spherical harmonics order 8 and above, the voice signal was not anymore perceived as significantly different from the greatest resolution. An analytical model was proposed and showed good agreement with the listening test results.
期刊介绍:
Acta Acustica, the Journal of the European Acoustics Association (EAA).
After the publication of its Journal Acta Acustica from 1993 to 1995, the EAA published Acta Acustica united with Acustica from 1996 to 2019. From 2020, the EAA decided to publish a journal in full Open Access. See Article Processing charges.
Acta Acustica reports on original scientific research in acoustics and on engineering applications. The journal considers review papers, scientific papers, technical and applied papers, short communications, letters to the editor. From time to time, special issues and review articles are also published. For book reviews or doctoral thesis abstracts, please contact the Editor in Chief.
