  • Publication number: 20180317034
    Abstract: An enhanced Stereo Dimensional Array (“SDA”) loudspeaker system 250 preferably including a mirror image pair of loudspeaker enclosures 280L, 280R configurable by a user or installer as a left-channel SDA loudspeaker and a right channel SDA loudspeaker uses a novel driver array aiming configuration and an enhanced Head Shadow filter SDA signal processing system and method to achieve a surprisingly effective psycho-acoustically expanded image breadth by inter-aural crosstalk cancellation. The signal processing system and method provide an enhanced method for cancellation of apparent sources of inter-aural crosstalk, as compared to the commonly owned Polk SDA™ (prior art) method.
