HEADSPEAKER – 5.1 HEADPHONE SYSTEM
Head tracker sensitivity adjusts the magnitude of the effect of the tracked head
movement. The easiest way to find the correct value is to play a test tone from any
channel. Rotate your head and pay attention on how the virtual sound source behaves
spatially. If tracker sensitivity is too great, sound source seems to travel to the opposing
direction when your head rotates. Conversely, too small value makes sound source to
”fall behind”. When the value is correct, sound source seems to stay in place.
HeaDSPeaker system supports a sophisticated room rendering algorithm. This setting
affects the acoustic reflectivity properties of a ”virtual auditorium”. If the value is set to
the minimum, rendering algorithm is disabled and only auralization (HRTF-based
processing) is performed. However, modelling the spatial properties of a virtual
auditorium improves the distance and externalization (out of head perception) of audio
sources.
Room response setting depends heavily on personal preference. It is also affected by
how much multichannel spatial cues the audio material itself contains.
Tip: if you need a quick way to toggle HeaDSPeaker's processing on and off (for
example, to listen to stereo music without processing): create a new user profile with
the profile manager, set bypass mode active to that profile only. You can now switch off
all processing with two mouse clicks, simply by activating that profile (as described later
in this manual).
