B.2 Example loudspeaker array

26.2603GPPObjective test methodologies for the evaluation of immersive audio systemsRelease 18TS

An example implementation with an ambisonic order N = 29 is described below:

– A turn table with constant step size of 6 degrees and starting at 0 degree (to obtain 60 positions in azimuth).

– Two fixed semi-arcs of radius 2.5 meters separated in azimuth by 90 degrees with 15 loudspeakers on each semi-arc; the elevations of loudspeakers are given (in degrees) by -85, -80, -74, -68, -62, -56, -50, -44, -38, -32, -27, -21, -15, -9, -3, 3, 9, 15, 21, 27, 32, 38, 44, 50, 56, 62, 68, 74, 80, 85, where succesive values are alternatively allocated to each semi-arc.

NOTE: In practice, the elevation of -85 degrees may be replaced by a nearby value (e.g. -82 degrees) to leave room for the mounting structure at the bottom of the loudspeaker array.
