ived lateral plane of a stereo image as identified by a sound it confines? =


I think it is a neat idea as a way of studying or describing a stereo recor=
ding.

However, maybe not so good for describing a single microphone array.  Since=
 the count of sonels will change depending on content, counting of sonels u=
sed as a method to describe qualities of a microphone array would require s=
imultaneous recording/s from different array/s for comparison.
