Signal processing approximating a standardized studio experience in a vehicle audio system having non-standard speaker locations

Abstract

A method of approximating a standardized studio experience when rendering surround sound signals in a vehicle having non-standard speaker locations comprises: receiving, by an audio system of a vehicle, surround-sound signals that also include a height dimension, the surround sound signals including first channels configured according to standardized speaker locations, wherein speaker positions of the audio system do not correspond to the standardized speaker locations; performing, using the audio system, sum and difference signal processing on respective pairs of the channels around the vehicle, the sum and difference signal processing based on the speaker positions of the audio system; and rendering, using the audio system, audio in the speakers of the vehicle based on the sum and difference signal processing of the surround-sound signals.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
