Description
This conventions defines free-field HRTFs stored as transfer functions, measured with an omnidirectional source for a single listener.
Based on SimpleFreeFieldHRIR, the only difference is the DataType, that is TF.
Version 1.2
SimpleFreeFieldHRTF version 1.2 will represent the standardized convention set from AES69-2025.
As compared to version 1.1, version 1.2 defines the optional metadata Normalization.

Version 1.1
SimpleFreeFieldHRTF version 1.1 represents a development stage towards standardized convention set from AES69-2025.
As compared to version 1.0, version 1.1 updates the datatype such that the size of dimension R is defined by the corresponding size of Data.IR. ReceiverPosition must have the dimension RCI.
