INTRODUCTION
Ambiophonics is an hybrid method for creating a realistic spatial reproduction of staged music, starting from two-channel recordings, but extensible to various kinds of micro phonic arrangements up to discrete multichannel
The goal of ambiophonics is to deliver to one or two home listeners a realistic replica of the concert hall experience
NORMAL HALL
The Ambiophonic method combines an exploitation of under-appreciated psychoacoustic principles with the basic rules of good musical performance-space design to create believable concert-hall soundfields in a home listening room
Ambiophonics moves the listener into the same space as the performers by accommodating to individual pinna characteristics
AMBIOPHONIC DOMESTIC CONCERT HALL LISTENING
The ideal Ambiopole uses speakers that are line or point sources, that don't spray sound to the floor, rear wall or ceiling causing bogus early reflections, and that if two or three way are time coherent so as to make the crosstalk cancellation more accurate
Ambiopole software can also be used to compensate for the microphone technique used to make the recording such as ORTF, spaced omnis etc. Once you have heard what an Ambiopole, combined with room correction and Ambiovolver surround ambience can do for ordinary LPs, CDs, SACD, or DVDs it is hard to be satisfied with stereo, 5.1, or 7.1 sound reproduction.
RECORDING SETUP
THIS WAS PROPOSED BY GUNTHER THEILE
The left and right main microphones are supercardioids; the center microphone is a cardioid. Very directional supercardioids are used, despite their poor low frequency response and relative complexity,
CONCLUSION
Ambiophonics revealed to give significant advantages over the two surround systems which constitutes it
It recreates a realistic virtual acoustic space by means of convolution with proper digital filters
The computational power required can be obtained cheaply by means of a modern PC
The system can be configured for different number and position of the loudspeakers
