contents The present document is Part 1 of a 2-part introduction to ambisonics and aims at readers who would like to work practically with ambisonics. We leave out deep technical details in this part and focus on helping the reader to develop an intuitive understanding of the underlying concept. We explain what ambisonic signals are, how they can be obtained, what manipulations can be applied to them, and how they can be reproduced to a listener. We provide a variety of audio examples that illustrate the matter. Part 2 of this introduction into ambisonics is provided in a separate document and aims at readers who would like to understand the mathematical details.
