Virtual source imaging for a loudspeaker span of 60 deg.

The two widely spaced loudspeakers produce the same sound pressures at the ears of the listener as would have been produced by a virtual image at 45 degrees to the left of the listener relative to straight front. Note that the resulting sound field is very complex even though the virtual image is quite close to the left loudspeaker.
