Hi All For those who don't know the Wireless World decoder articles, they are in Sampo's Motherlode: http://decoy.iki.fi/dsound/ambisonic/motherlode/source/Surround%20Sound%20Decoders%20Pts%20567%20WW%201977.pdf There is also a list of corrected component values at the end of the pdf. Eero

[Sursound] any idea's on the background of the stereo equations in the WW1977 article?

Hello, I have a question concerning the conversion of a stereo recording to ambisonics. In the Wireless World of 1977 articles there are equations for the conversion of stereo to W,X,Y equivalent signals. The use of j*Diff term doesn't seem to make sense. As I found no background info on them,

I have not had a chance to look at this in detail, but one point seems worth noting in advance: Such a conversion is in the literal sense impossible. Stereo is a system with two degrees of freedom. Horizontal Ambisonics has three. One can Ambisonics into stereo (losing information in the

Hi, The person to really answer this is Geoffrey barton (or perhaps Peter Craven). I'm sure I have something on this somewhere (possible in the stuff that went to the FCC??) but I can't find it at present. I'll have a think about this, but it may have been something to do with improving on the
