In addition, Ambisonics can encode the near-field effect of sounds, effectively capturing the sound distance. The near-field effect is a subtle low-frequency boost as a result of wave-front curvature, and properly compensating for this -occuring with the output speakers (as well as emulating it with a synthesized +occurring with the output speakers (as well as emulating it with a synthesized soundfield) can create an improved sense of distance for sounds that move near or far. |
