Web site of Durand R. Begault.  A principal investigator at the Spatial Auditory Display Laboratory. He is involved in research and development of new audio technologies for advanced human-machine interfaces for aeronautic and space applications, virtual reality systems, and speech communications.  Includes many of his publications available online as well as an electronic version of his book "3D Sound for Virtual Reality and Multimedia".

MIT HRTF Measurements of a KEMAR Dummy-Head Microphone.  "The measurements consist of the left and right ear impulse responses from a Realistic Optimus Pro 7 loudspeaker mounted 1.4 meters from the KEMAR. Maximum length (ML) pseudo-random binary sequences were used to obtain the impulse responses at a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz. A total of 710 different positions were sampled at elevations from -40 degrees to +90 degrees" (taken from abstract).
