Alternative Voices for Electronic Sound: Spherical Speakers and Sensor-Speaker Arrays (SenSAs)

Abstract

We describe several recent applications of spherical speakers (multi-channel, outward-radiating geodesic speaker arrays) and Sensor-Speaker-Arrays (SenSAs: combinations of various sensor devices with spherical speaker arrays). We discuss the design and construction of these systems, and, more generally, the new "voices " they give to electronic sound.
