Abstract
An audio system includes a plurality of speakers and an audio signal processor. The audio signal processor receives an audio signal and source position data associated with the audio signal; and applies a set of speaker driver signals to the plurality of speakers. The set of speaker driver signals causes the plurality of speakers to generate acoustic output that simulates output of the audio signal by an audio source at a location corresponding to the source position data in each of a plurality of discrete acoustic areas.
Claims26
An audio system comprising:
- a plurality of speakers;
- and
- an audio signal processor configured to:
- receive an audio signal and source position data associated with the audio signal;
- and
- apply a set of speaker driver signals to the plurality of speakers, wherein the set of speaker driver signals causes the plurality of speakers to generate acoustic output that simulates output of the audio signal by an audio source at a location corresponding to the source position data in each of a plurality of discrete acoustic areas.
A method comprising:
- receiving an audio signal and source position data associated with the audio signal;
- and
- applying a set of speaker driver signals to a plurality of speakers, wherein the set of speaker driver signals causes the plurality of speakers to generate acoustic output that simulates output of the audio signal by an audio source at a location corresponding to the source position data in each of a plurality of discrete acoustic areas.
A machine-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon to simulate acoustic output, which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- receive an audio signal and source position data associated with the audio signal;
- and
- apply a set of speaker driver signals to a plurality of speakers, wherein the set of speaker driver signals causes the plurality of speakers to generate acoustic output that simulates output of the audio signal by an audio source at a location corresponding to the source position data in each of a plurality of discrete acoustic areas.
