Interaural Crosstalk

Interaural Crosstalk An effect created when the signals from a pair of stereo speakers are heard as individual events, rather than a coherent blend. The effect can muddy stereo imaging and soundstaging realism, particularly when not listening from the sweet spot. Several recording techniques, such as Q Sound, Spatializer, and Roland RSS, are designed to take advantage of the effect. See also Crosstalk Head-Related Transfer Function (HRTF) Howard Ferstler
