Controls

• ModeCrossfeed / Speakers — Crossfeed: Bauer's headphone filter (bs2b). Speakers: two speakers in front of you, with head shadow, the time between the ears and a room.
• Cutoff300 to 2000 Hz — Crossfeed: where the other side's signal starts to roll off (300 to 2000 Hz; 700 is the bs2b default, 650 Jan Meier).
• Feed1 to 15 dB — Crossfeed: how far below the own side the other side arrives in the lows (1 to 15 dB; 4.5 bs2b default, 6 Chu Moy, 9.5 Jan Meier).
• Angle10 to 60 deg — Speakers: how far each speaker is off centre (10 to 60 degrees; 30 is the usual stereo triangle).
• Room0 to 100% — Speakers: early reflections of a room (0 = none).
• Mix0 to 100% — Blend of the dry and processed signal.
• Output−12 to +12 dB — Output level (-12 to +12 dB).

Properties

Crossfeed: libbs2b's filter: the other side through a first-order low pass at Cutoff, Feed dB down in the lows; the own side through a matching high boost; a mono signal keeps its level in the lows and loses up to 2 dB in the highs. Speakers: Brown-Duda head-shadow filters for the near and the far ear (their high-frequency gains scaled so a mono signal keeps its level on average), Woodworth's interaural time on the far ear (0.26 ms at 30 degrees), each ear half of each; Room adds six early reflections per ear (4 to 22 ms, low passed at 5 kHz). Then Mix and Output. No latency.
