  • Patent number: 9066173
    Abstract: A method for producing an optimum sound field of loudspeakers is revealed. Firstly enclose a surface of a human head with a first closed geometric shape. Then enclose the first closed geometric shape with at least one second closed geometric shape. Next set up reference points on the first and second closed geometric shapes respectively. Use signal strength of the reference point on the second closed geometric shape and a gradient of the corresponding reference points on the first and second closed geometric shapes to obtain a transfer function of each point between a virtual loudspeaker/a real loudspeaker and the sound field respectively. Then create a virtual sound field and a real sound field according to the above transfer functions. Finally, get an optimum signal of the real loudspeaker by minimizing an error between the virtual sound field and the real sound field with a boundary condition.
