Abstract
A multi-mode sound reproduction device is disclosed including a direct radiation sound device, a diffuse radiation sound device and a selection device in signal communication with both the direct radiation sound device and diffuse radiation sound device, the selection device capable of selecting between the direct radiation sound device for one mode of operation and the diffusion radiation sound device for another mode of operation in response to a received control signal.
Claims30
A multi-mode sound reproduction system comprising:
- a direct radiation device;
- a sound array;
- and
- a selection device in signal communication with both the direct radiation device and sound array, the selection device capable of selecting between the direct radiation device for one mode of operation and the combination of the sound array and direct radiation device for another mode of operation in response to a received control signal.
A method for producing multi-mode sound, the method comprising:
- receiving a control signal;
- and
- determining the mode of operation of a system having a direct radiation device and sound array corresponding to the control signal.
A multi-mode sound system comprising:
- means for receiving a control signal;
- and
- means for determining the mode of operation of a system having a direct radiation device and sound array corresponding to the control signal.
A signal-bearing medium having software for producing multi-mode sound, the signal-bearing medium comprising:
- logic for receiving a control signal;
- and
- logic for determining the mode of operation of a system having a direct radiation device and sound array corresponding to the control signal.
