The improvement in detection performance known as the binaural masking-level difference (BMLD) is usually measured as the difference between signal levels that correspond to 75% correct obtained when both signal and masking noise have zero interaural phase difference (NoSo) and when the noise is in-phase but the signal has a 180 interaural phase difference (NoS π)(Colburn and Durlach 1978). One of the principal models for the BMLD is Durlach’s equalization and cancellation model (Durlach 1963). One result, difficult to accommodate within the context of this model, is the near disappearance of the BMLD in remote masking when the signals have a frequency remote from an narrowband masking noise (Zwicker and Henning 1984). The decrease in the BMLD is not caused by reduced masking, which remains substantial at signal frequencies where the BMLD has become very small. Figure 1 [from Fig. 5 of Zwicker and Henning (1984)] illustrates the awkward result. The black (NoS
