Conclusions
§The sine sweep method revealed to be systematically superior to the MLS method for measuring electroacoustical impulse responses §Traditional methods for measuring “spatial parameters” (IACC, LF) proved to be unreliable and do not provide complete information §The 1°-order Ambisonics method can be used for generating and recording sound with a limited amount of spatial information §For obtaining better spatial resolution, High-Order Ambisonics can be used, limiting the spherical-harmonics expansion to a reasonable order (2°, 3° or 4°). §Experimental hardware and software tools have been developed (mainly in France, but also in USA), allowing to build an inexpensive complete measurement system
