In order to run the Matlab scripts you need to install the Sound Field Synthesis Toolbox (Revision 46b2a025f9) before. For the listening examples stored in listening_examples a headphone is needed for correct reproduction. Note that the best result will be achieved with an AKG K601, because we applied a headphone compensation filter for this particular headphone.

The Matlab files fig3.m, fig5.m, and fig6.m are recreating the corresponding figures from the paper.

In addition, listening_examples.m generates listening examples for Wave Field Synthesis and near-field compensated higher order Ambisonics stored which are stored in the folder listening_examples/. The signals were generated by a binaural simulation of a virtual point source placed at xs = (0,2.5,0) m for a listener placed at the positon (X,Y,0) m as indicated by the file names. The binaural simulation was done with HRTFs from Wierstorf et al. (2012)
