    摘要: The invention relates to a method and device for generating data about the mutual position of at least three acoustic transducers. The aim of the invention is to make it possible to continuously measure and calculate the mutual position of at least three acoustic transducers, particularly the rotation and the position of a human head wearing headphones within a room without using any additional transmitter element on the head, headphone, or body of the listener, during audio playback. This aim is achieved by connecting the acoustic transducers to a digitally operated system which comprises an output path emitting audio signals to first and second acoustic transducers, an input path receiving audio signals from the third acoustic transducer, an audio signal source that is connected to the output path, an ultrasound generator that is connected to the output path, and an information generator which indicates a position and is connected to the input path.

    摘要: A method and a device for sound field reproduction from a first audio input signal uses a plurality of loudspeakers for synthesizing a sound field within a preferred listening area in which none of the loudspeakers are located and therefore described as emanating from a virtual source. The method further includes the steps of calculating a plurality of positioning filter coefficients using virtual source description data and loudspeaker description data according to a sound field reproduction technique; and modifying the first audio input signal using the positioning filter coefficients to form second audio input signals. A loudspeaker ranking of the importance of each loudspeaker for the synthesis of the sound field within the preferred listening area is therefore defined. Then, second audio input signals are modified according to the loudspeaker ranking to form third audio input signals. Finally, the loudspeakers are alimented with the third audio input signals which synthesize a sound field.

    摘要: A method for sound field reproduction into a listening area of spatially encoded first audio input signals according to sound field description data using an ensemble of physical loudspeakers. The method includes computing reproduction subspace description data from loudspeaker positioning data describing the subspace in which virtual sources can be reproduced with the physically available setup. Then, second and third audio input signals with associated sound field description data, in which second audio input signals include spatial components of the first audio input signals located within the reproducible subspace and third audio input signals include spatial components of the first audio input signals located outside of the reproducible subspace. A spatial analysis is performed on second audio input signals to extract fourth audio input signals corresponding to localizable sources within the reproducible subspace with associated source positioning data. Components of second audio input signals after spatial analysis are merged with third audio input signals into fifth audio input signals with associated sound field description data for reproduction within the reproducible subspace. Loud-speaker alimentation signals are computed from fourth and fifth audio input signals.

    摘要: A method for 3D sound field reproduction from a first audio input signal using a plurality of loudspeakers distributed over a loudspeaker surface aiming at synthesizing a 3D sound field within a listening area in which none of the loudspeakers are located with the sound field radiating from a virtual source, includes the steps of calculating positioning filters using virtual source description data and loudspeaker description data according to a sound field reproduction technique derived from a surface integral, applying positioning filter coefficients to filter the first audio input signal to form second audio input signals. Loudspeakers are positioned for a sampling of the loudspeaker surface into second loudspeaker surfaces for which the loudspeaker spacing is smaller for loudspeakers located in the horizontal plane than for elevated loudspeakers. Loudspeaker weighting data are defined from the ratio between the area covered by second loudspeaker surfaces and the total area of the loudspeaker surface. The second audio input signals are modified according to the loudspeaker weighting data to form third audio input signals, which are fed into the loudspeakers to synthesize a sound field.
