Subject: Re: Directional characteristics of the human voice From: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Sergio_Rodr=EDguez_Soria?= <sergio(at)LPS.USP.BR> Date: Wed, 15 Jun 2005 18:09:54 -0300Hi Angelique, Prof. Angelo Farina and his team are doing research on that area. They recently published at the 118 AES Convention in Barcelona, a paper about directional characteristics of the voice inside cars, presenting several manequins with loudspeakers attached. The paper is: "Balloons of Directivity of Real and Artificial Mouth Used in Determining Speech Transmission Index", preprint 6492 He use to publish his paper on his website: http://pcfarina.eng.unipr.it/Public/Papers/list_pub.htm However, that paper is not there yet, but I'm sure you can find other interesting material about the topic there, or ask him for a copy.

I'm selecting loudspeakers for an experiment, and I want to be sure that they replicate the directionality of human speech.
