I imagine it could be used:
Ambisonic when shipped seems to be normalized to distance of 1 unit.
When your speaker array is much bigger or smaller, one could use that
information to rescale the sound reproduction.
But I haven't actually thought about this or even tried some formulas... Might
not work.
One other usage for the distance is for near-field compensation. I believe
fons' ambidec can do that, but isn't using the distance for this. Might be
interesting to make the amount of near-field compensation depend on the
distance of the speakers.
Finally, one of the main advantages of ambisonics compared to that 5.1/7.1-
crap is that your setup doesn't have to be perfect. Different distances and
even different irregularities in shape can be compensated and still reproduce
the signal as intended.
Have fun,
Arnold, just realizing that my "worlds smallest amb-rig" won't be finished
in
time for a lac-talk...
Azim and elev are in radians, to convert to
degrees multiply by
180/pi. Note that for all layouts on the demon page, dist will
be 1 for all speakers. For ambdec you should use the real distance.
in ambdec, is the distance used for anything else then delay and gain
compensation? Is it correct that for regular setups this does not matter?
