Abstract
A method according to the disclosure includes outputting a reference audio signal to a loudspeaker for reproduction, evaluating a first microphone signal to determine a first course of at least one parameter over a first frequency range, wherein the first microphone signal is captured by a first microphone in response to reproducing the reference audio signal by the loudspeaker, evaluating a second microphone signal to determine a second course of the at least one parameter over the first frequency range, wherein the second microphone signal is captured by a second microphone in response to reproducing the reference audio signal by the loudspeaker, blending the first course with the second course to generate at least one blended course, and outputting the at least one blended course via a communication interface.
Claims20
An audio system arranged in a listening environment, the audio system comprising:
- a computing device comprising one or more processors and a memory, wherein the computing device is configured to execute an evaluation application, wherein the evaluation application causes the computing device to perform the steps of:
- outputting a reference audio signal to a loudspeaker for reproduction;
- evaluating a first microphone signal to determine a first course of at least one parameter over a first frequency range, wherein the first microphone signal is captured by a first microphone in response to reproducing the reference audio signal by the loudspeaker;
- evaluating a second microphone signal to determine a second course of the at least one parameter over the first frequency range, wherein the second microphone signal is captured by a second microphone in response to reproducing the reference audio signal by the loudspeaker;
- blending the first course with the second course to generate at least one blended course;
- and
- outputting the at least one blended course via a communication interface, wherein the first microphone is arranged at a first position within the listening environment and the second microphone is arranged at second position within the listening environment vertically above the first position.
A method, comprising:
- outputting a reference audio signal to a loudspeaker for reproduction;
- evaluating a first microphone signal to determine a first course of at least one parameter over a first frequency range, wherein the first microphone signal is captured by a first microphone in response to reproducing the reference audio signal by the loudspeaker;
- evaluating a second microphone signal to determine a second course of the at least one parameter over the first frequency range, wherein the second microphone signal is captured by a second microphone in response to reproducing the reference audio signal by the loudspeaker;
- blending the first course with the second course to generate at least one blended course;
- and
- outputting the at least one blended course via a communication interface, wherein the first microphone is arranged at a first position within a listening environment and the second microphone is arranged at second position within the listening environment vertically above the first position.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform a method comprising:
- outputting a reference audio signal to a loudspeaker for reproduction;
- evaluating a first microphone signal to determine a first course of at least one parameter over a first frequency range, wherein the first microphone signal is captured by a first microphone in response to reproducing the reference audio signal by the loudspeaker;
- evaluating a second microphone signal to determine a second course of the at least one parameter over the first frequency range, wherein the second microphone signal is captured by a second microphone in response to reproducing the reference audio signal by the loudspeaker;
- blending the first course with the second course to generate at least one blended course;
- and
- outputting the at least one blended course via a communication interface, wherein the first microphone is arranged at a first position within a listening environment and the second microphone is arranged at second position within the listening environment vertically above the first position.
