This research introduces a hybrid approach that combines Crosstalk Cancellation (CTC) for precise direct sound, Vector-Base Amplitude Panning (VBAP) for uncolored early reflections, and Higher Order Ambisonics (HOA) for an enveloping diffuse decay. Additionally, a method to suppress the influence of the listening room is implemented. The selection of reproduction techniques is guided by listening experiments using the Spatial Audio Quality Inventory and a localization accuracy study comparing individual methods within the same array. Final evaluations through listening tests confirm that this system enhances spatial perception, improves localization accuracy, and seamlessly integrates users into virtual acoustic environments, creating a more lifelike auditory experience.}, cin = {613510}, ddc = {621.3}, cid = {$I:(DE-82)613510_20140620$}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)11 / PUB:(DE-HGF)3}, doi = {10.18154/RWTH-2025-01606}, url = {https://publications.rwth-aachen.de/record/1004758}, }
