crosstalk

[Background & Introduction] Hello everyone, this is my first post on the ASR forum. I am a PhD researcher in the field of mechanical engineering. As an audio hobbyist, I have been exploring Hi-Fi for six years, during which I developed a customized HRTF (Head-Related Transfer Function)...

Dear ASR members, Although not new, stereo sound reproduction with crosstalk-cancellation (XTC) is more widely discussed and used only in recent years. XTC means that your left ear only hears the left speaker and your right ear only the right one. Normally, both ears hear both speakers. In...
