Re: Audio Quality vs. Expectation

[Catherine Guastavino <Catherine.Guastavino@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Here is a paper investigating perceptual difference between spatial  
reproduction methods using recordings of musical scenes, outdoor and  
indoor environments.
The subjective ratings depend heavily on the expectations the  
listeners have for the different soundscapes.

Guastavino, C., & Katz, B. (2004). Perceptual evaluation of multi- 
dimensional spatial audio reproduction. Journal of the Acoustical  
Society of America, 116(2), 1105-1115.
