A bit of a warning... Richard Furse's Ambisonic Decoding Equations page is a useful resource, but is a bit vague on how the different matrices should be used (or adapted). Specifically, the coefficients listed as Rig Decode Matrix to Reproduce Spherical Harmonics (which have also been called

Greetings to All, I have been reviewing the literature on Auralization in attempts to create viable stimuli for research. Everybody here has been great. I do have another question/comment regarding loudspeaker placement. In nearly all Ambisonic setups, the listener's head lies on a line
