Lebedev Decoder

This tool decodes an Ambisonic sound scene up to a maximal degree $L \leq \{1, 2, 3, 5\}$, on a $N$-node Lebedev grid with $N \in \{6, 14, 26, 50\}$1 (see grids.lib). The Near Field Compensation (NFC) filters are included (see radial.lib).

Compilation parameters

  • L: maximal Spherical Harmonics degree (i.e., Ambisonics order), $0 \leq L \leq 5$,
  • N: number of node for the Lebedev grid, $N \in \{6, 14, 26, 50\}$,
  • rspk: array radius (m) for NFC $r_\text{spk} \in ]0, \infty[$.
  • nfcon: activate or not NFC: 0 for no NFC, 1 for NFC.

In order to avoid spatial aliasing artifacts in the sweep spot, please respect the Tab. in grids.lib when setting $L$ with respect to $N$.

Inputs / Outputs

  • Inputs: $(L+1)^2$
