Abstract :
E-Learning environments which merge traditional classroom instruction with teleconference capabilities are found to overlook the importance of correct localization of both stationary and mobile sound sources for all audience members with the video data on a teleconference screen. Research into conventional sound reinforcement solutions shows how systems based on stereophonic principles fail in this regard. A solution to this localization problem is presented as a 5 loudspeaker frontal line-array and physical implementation of the system is presented for subjective evaluation
