Subject: [AUDITORY] loudspeaker recommendations From: "Chait, Maria" <m.chait@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 7 Mar 2017 22:26:04 +0000 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--_000_HE1PR01MB10810B2BA67B5CBBC11260B0A82F0HE1PR01MB1081eurp_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Dear Colleagues, So far we have been conducting our behavioural experiments using high quali= ty headphones, but for various reasons will need to shift to using free fie= ld sound presentation for some of our work. I was hoping you might be able= to recommend a high quality loud speaker to use for this purpose; Ideally,= one that we can purchase easily from the UK. Our requirements: Experiments are conducted in a small-ish sound-proof boo= th, and we plan to position a single loudspeaker about 50-70 cm in front of= the listener (space constraints prevents this from being any further away)= . Stimuli are spectrally rich 'soundscapes'. My understanding is that we should prefer single cone speakers?
