"DEMAND" (Diverse Environments Multichannel Acoustic Noise Database) is a set of recordings of environmental noises in both indoor and outdoor settings. The recordings were performed with a 16-channel planar array of microphones. The purpose of the recording is to provide researchers with a large set of freely available noise recordings (licensed under a Creative Commons licence) for use in developing algorithms such as beamforming, noise reduction, and source separation, although anyone may use the data for any purpose they see fit. A more detailed description of the DEMAND recordings can be found in [1]. In this article, we examine some of the spatial properties of the DEMAND recordings, in particular the cross-channel correlations. Notably, the quality of the reverberation characteristics is compared to the theoretical ideal. This property is used as a post-recording calibration of the microphone positions, compared to the design speci cations of the array.
