Abstract(in English) This study is aiming at the realization of spatial sound acquisition and reproduction system that can reproduce a certain sound field in another space. In our proposed method,first of all,the sound acquisition with directivity is achieved by beam-forming. This processing is aplied over whole directions cyclopaedically to obtain the sound signal which propagate from each direction. Then, the binaural signals are synthesized by summation of all signals. Each of these signals obtained by beam-forming is convoluted with the HRTF corresponding to the source directions. In the proposed spatial sound acquisition and reproduction system, each beam is weighted so that the gains of the beam are constant regardless of the frequency. In this paper, we conducted objective and subjective evaluation to verify the effect of the weighting. The results shows that the sound field with one source was reproduced accurately by weighting, especially in the low-frequency region.
