Binaural reproduction of surround sound using a virtualized line array

Abstract:

A method for producing a diffuse field that is non-localizable and without timbre inaccuracies. A processor receives an audio bitstream containing an at least one surround channel. The surround channel is rendered as an at least one virtualized line array source. Timbre correction is applied to the virtualized line array source. Other aspects are also described and claimed.
