Abstract

This document illustrates how to process the signals from the microphones of a rigid-sphere higher-order ambisonic microphone array so that they are encoded with N3D normalization and ACN channel order and thereby can be used with the standard ambisonic software tools such as SPARTA and the IEM Plugin Suite. A MATLAB script is provided.
