How to Measure Your Head for Nx

These parameters are used in order to personalize the Nx effect to your head dimensions and the
distance between your ears. Nx is a binaural effect, so it factors these parameters to calculate the
inter-aural delays (ITD), filters and gains (ILD) for each ear. These are used to approximate your
individual Head-Related Transfer Function (HRTF). The default settings are based on average data for the
adult human population, but because these parameters can vary widely between individuals, it is
advised to adjust them to your personal dimensions. This will ensure the most optimal perception of
sound directions.

To personalize these parameters, use a measuring tape to measure the

full circumference of your head over the back of the head, ears and
eyebrows. Enter your measurement in the Head Circumference box
(notice the units, cm/inch).

Then measure the semi-circumference from ear to ear (at the ear canal
entrance) over the back of the head. Enter your measurement in the
Ear-to-Ear/Inter-Aural-Arc box (notice the units, cm/inch).

After you set these parameters, save them and set them as the
default setting for the plugin through the drop-down menu at the
top of the Head Modeling section.
