Abstract
A sound system and method for modeling a sound field generated by a sound source and creating a sound event based on the modeled sound field is disclosed. The system and method captures a sound field over an enclosing surface, models the sound field and enables reproduction of the modeled sound field. Explosion type acoustical radiation may be used. Further, the reproduced sound field may be modeled and compared to the original sound field model.
Claims24
A system for modeling a sound field comprising:
- a sound source for producing a sound event that generates a radiating sound field;
- a plurality of transducers arranged on a predetermined geometric surface at least partially surrounding said sound source to capture on the geometric surface the sound field generated by the sound event, where the sound field comprises predetermined parameters;
- means for modeling the sound field based on at least selected ones of the predetermined parameters;
- and
- means for storing the modeled sound field.
