Abstract: A headphone for spatial audio rendering includes a first database having an impulse response pair corresponding to a reference speaker location. A head sensor provides head orientation information to a second database having rotation filters, the filters corresponding to different azimuth and elevation positions relative to the reference speaker location. A digital signal processor combines the rotation filters with the impulse response pair to generate an output binaural audio signal to transducers of the headphone. Efficiencies in creating impulse response or HRTF databases are achieved by sampling the impulse response less frequently than in conventional methods. This sampling at coarser intervals reduces the number of data measurements required to generate a spherical grid and reduces the time involved in capturing the impulse responses. Impulse responses for data points falling between the sampled data points are generated by interpolating in the frequency domain.

The first and second fence posts (12, 14) are formed from folded sheets of metal of different thicknesses and have different front flange widths (FW1, FW2).

The difference in material provided by the difference in the front flange width (FW1) equates or substantially equates to the difference in material provided by the thickness. Thus, the linear mass densities of the fence posts (12, 14) are similar or identical.
