The vectors do not add up to zero, the mind simply ignores the off-band content like you would at a party listening to that cute office temp's whispers when your wife is yelling across the room at you. Listen to a recording of that same scenario in mono and you WILL hear your wife! I understand the Bell Labs explored this effect (which they referred to as the "cocktail party effect") when exploring the nature of conversation for the purposes of novel approaches to telephony multiplexing. I don't think they developed a technology solution to exploit the cocktail party effect, but they did incorporate their knowledge of the statistical / syllabic / sentence characteristics in their Time Assignment Speech Interpolation (TASI) equipments, and TASI was quite successful. I think the term we would use for the cocktail party effect on a phone channel is "a crossed line", and you may be right in that the loss of spatial information because of the mono channel may have been the reason it didn't work. -- |

Hi Owen, This mimics Paul McCartney's use of phase mixing in his music in the late 70s. Earlier, I was using Reticon bucket-brigade chips to develop a frequency independent delay line such that I could mix input and output (much like the FIR/IIR topology of today's DSP technology, except I was doing it in analog rather than digital) to obtain a variable phase. I still have the breadbox sitting on the shelf. I was anticipating using this device to place "voices" in the stereo-space of program content that I was mixing for. The concept was much too cerebral for the producer who simply wanted matched levels. 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC |
