Summary
The development of music recording and reproduction has been characterized by the quest for perfection ever since its inception under Thomas Alva Edison. This is true for all fields of recording and reproduction technology, from microphones and sound storage media to loudspeaker technology. Concertquality sound reproduction which matches the original with complete fidelity remains the goal of research. This can only be achieved, however, if all of the factors involved in listening are addressed, whether they are acoustic, psychoacoustic, or psychological. Fraunhofer IDMT’s further development of wave field synthesis technology as a marketable product – already in use in highly demanding open air and opera house productions – plays a key role here. The uncomplicated synchronous storage and transmission of metadata provided by the current MPEG-H 3D Audio coding method allows listeners at home to interactively shape their listening experience.
