A full sphere far field HRIR/HRTF (head related impulse response and its Fourier transform head related transfer function) compilation of a Neumann KU 100 dummy head is presented. The compilation can be used for different purposes; it is, for instance, very convenient for applications in the field of spherical Fourier acoustics. Different sampling configurations were captured and the compilation on the whole involves around 22.000 post-processed binaural impulse responses. The data is organized and stored in MATLAB R objects, offering different processing features and including gateways to the SOFiA sound field analysis toolbox and to the Sound Scape Renderer. Associated headphone compensation filters for around 20 common headphones were created. Additionally, a method to optimize and extend the low frequency response of measured HRIRs/HRTFs is discussed.
