Aspects of source directivity in reflective environments are considered, including the audible effects of directivity and how these can be reproduced. Different methods of encoding and production are presented, leading to a new approach to extend parametric encoding of reverberation, as described in the DIRAC and MPEG formats, to include the response to source directivity.
