The orthogonal axes chosen for the transverse waves is chosen because of the asymmetric coupling in the two directions. On a flat-top acoustic guitar the top plate moves up and down "more easily" then from side to side.

Amplitude maps to displacement and complex phase to color hue.

Spherical magnitude response, raw data. Thanks to Perrin Meyer for this example.

Spherical magnitude response, smoothed by truncating low power / high order spherical harmonics. Thanks to Perrin Meyer for this example.

On one hand I obviously like to play, and on the other hand I tend to forget: I have just discovered an animation I have made in my e-mail folder, Jan 2007 :)

Obviously, I like to play and tend to forget. I have just discovered a nice animation I made in January :)

In practice they already corrected the "offset" of the musician. They tried to shift the musician by further 50cm to center the instrument. I will get their recordings and analyze them.

Animated gif overview over the MIMO crosstalk canceler for acoustically coupled spherical loudspeaker arrays from my DAGA08 talk. Using these filters, the membrane velocities can be individually controlled. (click on original!)

Animated gif overview over the MIMO crosstalk canceler in spherical harmonics for acoustically coupled spherical loudspeaker arrays from my DAGA08 talk. Using these filters, the membrane velocities decomposed into spherical harmonic patterns can be individually controlled. (click on original!)

Impulse response of an icosahedral loudspeaker array with acoustic coupling (inside and outside) from my DAGA2008 talk.

When we designate the maximum number of speakers/channels for each format, such as 5.1 or 6.1, we're referring to the number of front, center, rear, and possibly center-rear speakers (the .1 refers to the subwoofer) that the format can use. Stereo, a.k.a. 2.0, is a two-channel format. Check out the diagram to see how they are set up in a room.
