Thanks, David. Now I understand a "sonel" is a section of area on the perce=
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.
