The loudspeaker placement method as proposed by Audio Physic (http://www.audiophysic.de/aufstellung/index_e.html) is based on the idea that source localisation is happening within the first 5 ms, after which first reflections are suppressed and don’t disturb any more. The basis for this method is very likely to be found in AES paper 4246 (http://www.aes.org/e-lib/browse.cfm?elib=7529) where it is said that for delays of 1- 5 ms a broadening of the image and sometimes image shift is occurring. Reflections in the sub 5 ms range should therefore be minimized. Reference is made to the chapter “Law of the first wavefront”in Blauert’s “Spatial hearing”, 1974 edition. I checked that chapter of the 1974 and 1983 editions and could not find any mentioning of such 5 ms window. Summing localization is mentioned, but the time window is about 1 ms, then the precedence effect takes over.
My question is, where could this 5 ms time window come from?
