Transaural Filters and Recommended Configuration
This section introduces the transaural filters and the related configuration compatible with the 3D Sound Transaural module.
A transaural filter allows you to convert a binaural sound into a transaural sound. It depends on the recording type (type of dummy head or microphone) and on the rendering material (loudspeakers type).
The filter is a file in .bin format that is loaded in the 3D sound transaural module. By default, a filter is already loaded in the module when starting Sound: Analysis and Specification.
Several filters are supplied with the 3D Sound Transaural module.
