Evaluation of Distance Based Amplitude panning for spatial audio

Distance-Based Amplitude Panning (DBAP) has recently been proposed as a new technique for panning sound sources in two and three dimensional spaces spaces. In this paper, DBAP is compared with two established alternatives, Ambisonics and Vector-Based Amplitude Panning, both objectively in terms of speaker gains and their variation with source position, and subjectively using listening tests to estimate apparent source position.
