title: Effectiveness of focused source generation methods with consideration of interaural time and level difference.
abstract: Several methods have been proposed for the generation of the focused source, usually a virtual monopole source positioned in between the loudspeaker array and the listener. The problem of pre-echoes of the common analytical methods has been noticed, and the most concise method to cope with this problem is the angular weight method. In this paper, the interaural time and level difference, which are well related to the localization cues of human auditory systems, will be used to further investigate the effectiveness of the focused source generation methods. It is demonstrated that the combination of angular weight method and the numerical pressure matching method has comparatively better performance in a given reconstructed area.
