Wave Field Synthesis 32-channel Loudspeaker Array
The new Wave Field Synthesis (WFS) loudspeaker array will be installed in the Gurley Lab this week. This hybrid virtualization system will provide from a highly spatial accurate (wavefront synthesis up to 1.1 kHz) frontal array coupled to a 2D HD video projection system. Room modeling will be accomplished in real-time using a custom convolver coupled to a surround speaker array. The WFS system will spatialize up to 16 virtual sources in a modeled room with up to second-order reflections. This reproduction system is similar to that used in my Master’s research, but with half the spacing between speakers in the frontal array (9.5 cm). The WFS system will be used for real-time telematic musical performances, research on audio-visual interactions and multi-modal distance perception.
