Hi *! I have taken the liberty of ruthlessly editing the article, to transform it into a first-class wikipedia citizen eventually. I realize that I've removed content that contains valid and valuable information, and which represents long and hard work by other people. The content is not lost, merely commented out, and can be cherry-picked at leisure. (Besides, Wikipedia does not lose anything and you can always revert my changes if you disagree). However, I felt that the previous state of the article required a heavy-handed clean-up effort. I hope we can arrive at a sub-page structure that leaves room for the interesting and diverse historical information on ambisonics while keeping the main article short and to the point, while transforming the anecdotal style to something that's more in keeping with encyclopaedic writing. (I'm picking this up as I go, so feel free to shorten my contributions even more!) |

I realize that there is currently too much "original research" (aka. stuff everyone knows) which needs backing up by citations, and that we are totally missing information on psycho-acoustic criteria and optimisations vs. physically correct sound field reconstruction. Time permitting, I will try to add some missing bits in the near future, and I hope that other Ambisonics enthusiasts will join in.

: After extensive editing, the article is coming into shape, but almost back to its former length, unfortunately. The "Theoretical foundation" section is still woefully incomplete, it definitely needs a formulation of the SH and a connection to the Helmholtz equation. I suggest that whoever tackles this section properly splits it off into another subpage, maybe "[[Theoretical foundation of Ambisonics]]", and we add a {{:Detail}} template at the end of the "Gentle introduction"... That way, we can keep the main page short and sweet while not glossing over important details.[[User:Nettings|Nettings]] ([[User talk:Nettings|talk]]) 16:29, 28 December 2013 (UTC) |

Until recently, the article included, "(in general, the more speakers, the higher the accuracy of the reconstructed soundfield)". This was removed by User:Nettings with the edit summary, 'removed "the more loudspeakers, the better". daniel has shown that rE suffers from too many loudspeakers.'
It is still true, however, that six speakers are better than four, and that eight are better than six. The problem Daniel's theoretical work exposed was only with very large numbers of speakers. The two points are not in conflict, so can we find a form of words that accommodates both? HairyWombat 15:17, 16 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I just added a statement to the initial section stating renewed interest in Ambisonics from research institutions and media companies. Before I add a looong list of recent papers from said parties to support this claim, does anyone know of a single source that will corroborate this fact more concisely?
