摘要: 提出了一种在非均匀扬声器布置中近似实现水平面Ambisonics恒定功率均衡的方法。该方法通过引入高阶空间谐波函数得到近似均衡的重放信号, 并进一步分析重构声场的功率特性, 建议重放阶数按均衡后扬声器信号总功率随目标方向波动不超过3.0 dB的条件选取。借助于修正的Moore 响度模型对比重构声场与目标声场的双耳响度级谱, 客观证实了近似均衡处理可减少音色改变。心理声学实验表明, 所提方法在不影响重放虚拟源定位性能的基础上, 能够有效改善较大功率波动方向上的音色失真。但对于功率波动较小的高质量虚拟源或者功率波动过大而音色失真严重的虚拟源, 所提方法并不能明显提高重放音色质量。Abstract: The present work proposes a method of approximate implementation of constant-power equalization in signal mixing for horizontal Ambisonics with a nonuniform loudspeaker configuration derived from simulation and microphone-array recording. Ambisonics signal mixing with approximately constant-power-equalization is obtained by adding higher-order spatial harmonics in original signal mixing. The power characteristics of the mixed signal is further analyzed, and the appropriate truncation order is selected based on the criterion that the fluctuation of the overall signal power across the target source azimuth is less than 3.0 dB after equalization. Moore’s modified binaural loudness model serves to analyze the proposed method, and a psychoacoustic experiment is conducted to validate it. The results indicate that the proposed method reduces the timbre coloration in the azimuthal range where the power fluctuation is obvious without equalization.
