Probing Spatial Structure in Pretrained Audio Representations
arXiv:2606.05544v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Pretrained spatial audio encoders are increasingly used as general-purpose representations for perceptual tasks, yet their spatial encoding capabilities remain poorly understood. We introduce the Spatial Audio Representation Learning (SARL) benchmark, a controlled framework for evaluating spatial information in pretrained audio models. SARL probes source-level factors (azimuth, elevation, distance, class) and room-level factors (RT60, volume, shape). Experiments across diverse encoders reveal three patterns: input configuration and training pa…
