OTHER SIMULATION TOOLS<br />

characterised by a directivity factor and can be placed anywhere<br />

within the simulated room. The room response generated using<br />

the monophonic microphone is characterised by a single<br />

impulse response (*.SIM) file.<br />

Stereo Microphones: This setting simulates a pair of Blumlein<br />

Microphones. This stereo pair can be imagined as two<br />

microphones joined at the rear, with an angle of separation<br />

measured between the pickups of the microphones. It is<br />

assumed that the microphones are identical and have the same<br />

directivity factor. The room response generated using the stereo<br />

pair is characterised by two impulse files named *L.SIM,<br />

*R.SIM respectively.<br />

B-format Microphone: This setting simulates a B-format<br />

microphone which records four separate signals. These signals<br />

represent the X,Y,Z and Omni (ω) encoding of the room<br />

impulse. Combined, these signals provide responses which<br />

allow clear sound localisation using Ambisonics. The room<br />

responses generated using the B-format setting are characterised<br />

by four impulse files named *X.SIM, *Y.SIM, *Z.SIM and<br />

*W.SIM respectively.<br />

The file root and name specify the directory to which impulse<br />

responses are saved and the name of the impulse response files<br />

(*.SIM) produced by the simulation.<br />

For example, a file root c:\<strong>Huron</strong>32\rooms<br />

Would save the impulse responses in the directory<br />

c:\<strong>Huron</strong>32\rooms, the sim files would be named<br />

ROOM*.SIM, where * represents any special file designators<br />

(ie. R,L,X,Y,Z,W).<br />

If AniScape mode is selected, Make Room will also generate a<br />

geometry file (*.GEO) in the file root directory.<br />

1. Click Browse.<br />

2. Type or Select the output directory and specify a name for<br />

the output files.<br />

3. Click OK.<br />

Specify sample rate and length in samples<br />

The sample rate specifies the number of samples of the room<br />

response to be taken during one second. AniScape and<br />

MultiScape use sampling rates of 16000 due to band limiting<br />

within the programs, while most other <strong>Huron</strong> applications<br />

(including Space Array) utilise a sampling rate of 48000. These<br />
