Perceptual soundfield reconstruction is a recording technique that captures many of the audible cues present in the original performance venue, and reproduces them via a discrete 5-channel audio reproduction system. The technique depends on the knowledge of how listeners create a sense of image, space, and direction of a sound source, rather than on reproducing accurately the original soundfield in the venue.
