Ambisonic Channel 5

B5


Channels Sequence
Glossary
November 2008: The format documented here is intended for future ambisonic files (etc.).

Pre-2009 files typically used a channel sequence of WXYZRSTUVKLMNOPQ (the index page can be used as a concordance), and FuMa channel weightings (conversion factors are on the pages for channels 0 to 15).

Ambisonic Channel Number (ACN) = 5


(l,m) = (2,-1)



FuMa letter code: T


Conversion factor from FuMa to N3D:
  • sqrt(15)/2
  • 5.74 db
.
Conversion factor from SN3D to N3D:
  • sqrt(5)
  • 6.99 db
