Abstract :
Integrated media workstations are increasingly being used for creating, editing, and monitoring sound that is associated with video or computer-generated images. While the requirements for high quality reproduction in large-scale systems are well understood, these have not yet been adequately translated to the workstation environment. We discuss several factors that pertain to high quality sound reproduction at the desktop including acoustical considerations, signal processing requirements, and listener location issues. We also present a novel desktop system design with integrated listener-tracking capability that circumvents several of the problems faced by current digital audio and video workstations
