SoundShape - Headphone Transfer Function database

Description

This publication introduces the SoundShape database, which contains closed-ear headphone transfer functions (HpTF) for fifteen headphone models. Several models included in this database are also found in other well-known databases, such as Virtuoso and Binaural Decoders. However, for some models found in the literature, HpTF filters were unavailable, so new measurements were conducted. The publication details the various stages of SoundShape’s implementation, including project assumptions, hardware and software used, and the measurement environment. Specifications for the microphones and the head and torso simulator are provided. Additionally, the script used in Pure Data is documented. The measurement process is explained through a schematic diagram and an algorithm description, and the construction and processing of signal files within SoundShape are discussed. The freely available ‘AKtools’ script in MATLAB was employed to derive the HpTF functions. Moreover, the publication includes detailed analyses of selected phonic signal samples from the database, highlighting similarities and differences among the three headphone models tested. The paper concludes with a summary of the results, including recommendations on how the database can be utilized.
