"Audio systems and recordings are optimized for listening at the 'sweet 
spot', but how well do they work elsewhere?  An acoustic-perceptual model 
has been developed that simulates sound reproduction in a variety of 
formats, including mono, two-channel stereo, five-channel surround and 
wavefield synthesis.  A virtual listener placed anywhere in the listening 
area is used to extract binaural signals, and hence interaural cues to the 
spatial attributes of the soundfield.  Using subjectively-validated models 
of spatial sound perception, we can predict the way that human listeners 
would perceive these attributes, such as the direction (azimuth) and width 
of a phantom source.  Results will be presented across the listening area 
for different source signals, sound scenes and reproduction systems, 
illustrating their spatial fidelity in perceptual terms.  Future work 
investigates the effects of typical reproduction degradations."
