Abstract:
The comparative evaluation of the quality of different Ambisonic decoding strategies presents a number of
challenges, most notably the lack of a suitable reference signal other than the original, real-world audio scene. In a
previous paper, a new test methodology for such evaluations was presented via a listening test conducted using
binaural reproduction. In this paper, this methodology is further refined and the results of a new listening test using
loudspeaker reproduction over a 7.0.4 array is presented. The results again indicate some significant differences
between the decoders for certain attributes.
