Abstract
A method for identifying the position of loudspeaker boxes in a loudspeaker box arrangement includes the operation of a first loudspeaker box in the loudspeaker box arrangement as an acoustic test signal generator. An acoustic test signal from the first loudspeaker box is received at other loudspeaker boxes in the loudspeaker box arrangement. A positional relationship between the signal-generating first loudspeaker box and at least one of the other loudspeaker boxes in the loudspeaker box arrangement is ascertained on the basis of the acoustic test signal received in the other loudspeaker boxes.
Claims12
A method for identifying an order of loudspeaker boxes in a loudspeaker box line array, comprising:
- operating a first loudspeaker box in the loudspeaker box line array as an acoustic test signal generator;
- receiving the acoustic test signal from the signal-generating first loudspeaker box at other loudspeaker boxes in the loudspeaker box line array;
- and
- ascertaining a positional relationship between the signal-generating first loudspeaker box and at least one of the other loudspeaker boxes in the loudspeaker box line array based on received signals from the acoustic test signal that are produced in the other loudspeaker boxes, wherein the received signals are subjected to a respective level measurement and the positional relationship between the signal-generating first loudspeaker box and the at least one of the other loudspeaker boxes is ascertained based on a comparison between the levels of the received signals from at least two other loudspeaker boxes.
A device for identifying an order of loudspeaker boxes in a loudspeaker box line array, comprising:
- a device for operating a test mode for a first loudspeaker box in the loudspeaker box line array by emitting an acoustic test signal;
- and
- an evaluation device configured to ascertain a positional relationship between the signal-generating first loudspeaker box and at least one of other loudspeaker boxes in the loudspeaker box line array based on received signals from the acoustic test signal that are produced by the other loudspeaker boxes in the loudspeaker box line array, wherein the received signals are subjected to a respective level measurement and the positional relationship between the signal-generating first loudspeaker box and the at least one of the other loudspeaker boxes is ascertained based on a level comparison between the levels of the received signals from at least two other loudspeaker boxes.
A computer readable non-transitory product on which computer program instructions are stored which, when executed by a computer, causes the computer to perform a method for identifying an order of loudspeaker boxes in a loudspeaker box line array, the method comprising:
- a program for bringing about a test mode for a first loudspeaker box in the loudspeaker box line array by emitting an acoustic test signal;
- and
- a program for comparing levels of received signals from the acoustic test signal that are then obtained from other loudspeaker boxes in the loudspeaker box line array, in order to ascertain a positional relationship between the signal-generating first loudspeaker box and at least one of the other loudspeaker boxes in the loudspeaker box line array.
An audio signal processing system, comprising:
- an audio signal processing circuitry comprising multiple channels, wherein each channel of the audio signal processing circuitry is associated or associable with one or more loudspeaker boxes in a loudspeaker box line array;
- and
- a device for identifying an order of loudspeaker boxes in the loudspeaker box line array, comprising:
- a test mode device for bringing about a test mode for a first loudspeaker box in the loudspeaker box line array by emitting an acoustic test signal, and
- an evaluation device that is configured to take received signals from the acoustic test signal that are produced by other loudspeaker boxes in the loudspeaker box line array as a basis for ascertaining a positional relationship between the signal-generating first loudspeaker box and at least one of the other loudspeaker boxes by subjecting the received signals to a respective level measurement and by comparing between the levels of the received signals from at least two other loudspeaker boxes.
