Binaural recordings of a real and binaural simulated circular loudspeaker array

A KEMAR dummy head did binaural recordings of a noise signal played back over a circular loudspeaker array. The loudspeaker array had a diameter of 3m and consists of 56 loudspeakers. The real loudspeakers or a binaural simulation of them were used. For the latter a BRIR dataset had been recorded before with another dummy head. The KEMAR dummy head was wearing headphones all the time in order to allow for a direct comparison between the simulation and real setup. This dataset is used to create Fig. 4.9 in H. Wierstorf, Perceptual Assessment of of Sound Field Synthesis, PhD dissertation, TU Berlin, 2014. See also https://github.com/hagenw/phd-thesis/tree/master/04_binaural_synthesis/fig4_09
