Timbral Constancy and Spectral Compensation Dataset

This archive contains data generated as part of the PhD project of Cleo Pike (2015). These data relate to research into timbral constancy and compensation for spectral distortion caused by loudspeaker and room acoustics. Data comprise listening test stimuli, interfaces and results.

Archive Format

This archive is stored as split zip-files, TimbralCompensationSplit.zip and TimbralCompensationSplit.z01. After downloading both files to the same directory, use a split-archive-compatible unzip utility on TimbralCompensationSplit.zip to extract the full archive. If no split-archive-compatible unzip utility is available then first combine the split files ...

e.g. zip -s 0 TimbralCompensationSplit.zip --out TimbralCompensation.zip

... and then unzip the combined zip-file.
