Geek. Periphonics, and periphony, is that which relates to the vertical spatialisation of Sound. See Stockhausen, K.

Phil, what are they and how much do they cost by the dozen? I thought you were pretty geeky, but then when you pulled out the term ‘periphonics’, I knew you were indeed the übergeek.

This is handy because you dont need such specialist equipment, and the loss of Z is only a real hinderance to those who use periphonics. And, really, that ain't many people. Most of the writing i have seen about ambisonics, and any surround or stereo recording technique, bases the descritions upon microphones that conform to mathmatically ideal 1st order pickup patterns (omni, fig8, cardoid, et al). Of course, such microphones don't exist. Thought I haven't seen anything published about it, I am intersted to know how much these irregularities effect system performance (in terms of frequency dependant lobing). I am inclined to suspect that with more involved matrix decoding, and Fs dependant processing, these issues will be more significant than in conventional stereo pickups. Misser M. Gerzon is brillant.
