This article is from the Ambisonic Surround Sound FAQ, by Martin Leese with numerous contributions by others.
21. From where can I obtain more information?
There are several Web sites devoted to Ambisonic Surround Sound. These
are listed on my Ambisonic Web site, details of which are at the start
of Section 1.
If you have a technical bent then you should obtain and read some of
the references listed in References (see References). I recommend
particularly the Gerzon 1985 reference. Next best are the Woodgate
1994 and Sommerwerck 1984 references.
If you want to know what Ambisonic Surround Sound sounds like, but
cannot arrange to hear it for yourself, the results of an extensive
domestic listening test are described in the Attewell 1982 reference.
Further information on Ambisonics is available from the Ambisonic and
B-format User Group run by Donald G Maclennan. ABUG is an informal
group of about 180 devotees. Donald keeps a database of members'
interests and he is happy to put people whose interests overlap in
touch with each other. The membership includes people from the pro
sound industry, journalism, academia, and individuals like me who are
just interested.
