Acoustic MTFs for the simulated reverberant sound field used for testing in this study. MTFs are displayed for both source orientations (0° and 90°) and for both left (blue) and right (red) ears at three different carrier signal bandwidths: broadband, 1-octave, and 1/3-octave. For the 1-octave bandwidth, MTFs for center frequencies ranging from 125 to 16000 Hz are shown, offset by 20 dB for display purposes. For the 1/3-octave bandwidth, only the 4000 Hz center frequency is shown. The curves in all panels represent MTFs computed with the squared BRIR method and the symbols represent results of the direct method of MTF determination obtained with a modulation depth of 50% (see text for details).
