The pursuit of achieving lifelike spatial sound reproduction in music production has spurred the advancement of immersive sound systems. With the growing prevalence of immersive sound systems, investigating their perceptual attributes through a psychoacoustic lens has become a pertinent endeavour. This study focuses on the subjective assessment of directional perception when exposed to audio signals rendered via both stereo and immersive sound systems. A comprehensive series of listening tests were conducted to evaluate listeners' capacity to localise sound sources originating from five distinct positions on a virtual stage, comparing results between stereo and immersive sound configurations. The findings of this study unequivocally underscore the perceptual advantages of immersive sound setups over conventional stereo configurations.
