SoundQuality: Quality of Multichannel Reproduced Sound

Description

Paired comparison judgments of 40 selected listeners with respect to eight audio reproduction modes and for types of music.

Usage

data("SoundQuality")

Details

The data were collected within a series of experiments conducted at the Sound Quality Research Unit (SQRU), Department of Acoustics, Aalborg University, Denmark, between September 2004 and March 2005.

The results of scaling listener preference and spatial and timbral auditory attributes are reported in Choisel and Wickelmaier (2007).

Details about the loudspeaker setup and calibration are given in Choisel and Wickelmaier (2006).

The attribute elicitation procedure is described in Wickelmaier and Ellermeier (2007) and in Choisel and Wickelmaier (2006).

The selection of listeners for the experiments is described in Wickelmaier and Choisel (2005).
