    Abstract

    A major problem in sound field reconstruction systems is how to record the higher order (> 1) harmonic components of a given sound field. Spherical harmonics analysis is used to establish theory and design of a higher order recording system, which comprises an array of small microphones arranged in a spherical configuration and associated signal processing. This result has implications to the advancement of future sound field reconstruction systems. An example of a third order system for operation over a 10:1 frequency range of 340 Hz to 3.4 kHz is given.
