- Factual information about significance: Listener envelopment is key to the spatial audio listening experience. This paper extends understanding of envelopment by identifying the audio mix parameters that affect it significantly (across multiple reproduction systems and multiple programme material types). The prototype system then developed allows, for the first time, direct control over listener envelopment. The work has fed directly into the coding of an envelopment processing engine in an object-based audio renderer developed by the BBC and others. This allows automatic optimisation of envelopment, and user-controlled envelopment personalisation, for an enhanced listening experience over any reproduction system.
