An optimized multi-channel measurement setup for the acquisition of individual HRTFs in anechoic environments has been developed. This kind of measurement is usually time-consuming, if high spatial resolution is required. Since persons have to stand on a turntable for several minutes the results might lack accuracy due to unwanted movements of the head. A recently introduced technique allows simultaneous playback of multiple exponential sweeps through several loudspeakers by even considering slightly non-linear behavior [Majdak2007]. This approach directly leads to a significant reduction of required measurement duration without loss of quality compared to a conventional subsequent measurement. An entirely different approach uses a continuous measurement method of a rotating person with a single loudspeaker to speed up the HRTF measurement on a horizontal ring [Enzner2009]. In this case the measured system should be considered as slightly time-variant depending on the rotational speed. We propose a novel approach, combining these methods in order to achieve shorter measurement times. The effects of the time-variance and a possible compensation will be presented. This contribution introduces different optimization strategies of the excitation signals used, regarding measurement duration and achieved accuracy of the measurement.
