title = "On the limitations of binaural reproduction of monaural blind source separation output signals",
abstract = "In this contribution we analyze the binaural reproduction of an acoustic scene from monaural blind source separation (BSS) outputs for headphone applications. In practice, a perfect separation of the individual sources cannot be achieved, there are always residual components in the BSS outputs which constitute a major problem for binaural reproduction of an acoustic scene. We derive a necessary condition for the required signal-to-interference-ratio (SIR) at the BSS outputs so that a binaural reproduction of the source signals is possible up to a given tolerable error based on a simplified free-field model. The theoretical findings are verified by simulations with speech signals.",
