It is “Maskee, maskee,” all the time in China. If a stone bridge has tumbled down, and a great part of the population is put a couple of miles out of its path during year after year, maskee.

In MPEG psychoacoustic models, only a subset of samples over the whole spectrum are considered to be maskees and involved in the calculation of global masking threshold. The number and frequencies of maskees also depend on the Layer and ...

It is important to remember that most investigations of masking curve properties have been done with simple maskers and maskees, such as pure tones and narrow-band noise. In perceptual coding, one assumes that these measured ...

A question arises as to how those masked thresholds add up for maskees in a particular critical band? To answer this question, let us consider two maskers, one at critical band zr1 and the other at critical band zr2, and denote their ...

These relations were maintained for the 40 and 60 dB SL maskers as well as the 20 and 200 msec duration maskees . These results are quite apparent upon further inspection of Figure 4 . Moreover , they imply that , for simultaneously ...
1965, Proceedings
Frequencies of maskers and maskees were chosen to have some relevance to voiced speech sounds . Sample results obtained for maskees of various frequencies and tone - pair maskers with individual sensation levels of 60 db are shown by ...

40.1: around 1 kHz the four maskees will be masked as long as their individual sound pressure levels are below the masking threshold. The slope of the masking threshold is steeper towards lower frequencies, i.e., higher frequencies are ...

Masking curves are typically measured only for very simple maskers and maskees (either pure tones or narrow-band noise). In perceptual audio coding the assumption is that masking effects derived from simple maskers can be extended to a ...

The figure shows that the asymmetry of the response curve results in the masking effect being considerably greater for maskees which are above rather than those below the frequency of the masker. This effect is often referred as: The ...
2001, Philippe H. Dejonckere, Occupational Voice: Care and Cure, Kugler Publications (→ISBN), page 43:
The masking effect is always greater : ( a ) for maskees whose frequencies are above rather than below the frequency of the masker ; and ( b ) the higher the level of the masker . Masking is usually thought of in terms of the threshold ...

One particular feature of the masking phenomenon is that the masking effect is considerably greater for maskees that are above (rather than below) the frequency of the masker. This effect is often referred to as the.
