Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining a configuration for a loudspeaker arrangement for radiating sound into a space, wherein the method comprises the following steps: providing an initial configuration having initial configuration parameters for a loudspeaker arrangement for radiating sound into a space in the computer, determining configurations having respectively associated configuration parameters by means of a target function-based optimisation method, wherein, proceeding from the initial configuration, in the computer a sound field for the space and/or parts thereof into which sound is to be radiated is determined iteratively to a candidate configuration by means of simulation, a value of a target function associated with the candidate configuration and the simulated sound field is determined and a new candidate configuration for the loudspeaker arrangement is selected, and selecting a configuration having configuration parameters from the iteratively determined candidate configurations in
Abstract: The invention relates to a process for determining an averaged frequency-dependent transfer function for a perturbed linear time-invariant system by means of an evaluation device, wherein the process comprises providing frequency-dependent reference signals derived from excitations input in a linear time-invariant system, providing frequency-dependent measuring signals for the linear time-invariant system associated with the frequency-dependent reference signals, and determining an averaged frequency-dependent transfer function for the linear time-invariant system, in that, using signal deconvolution of mutually associated measuring and reference signals, frequency-dependent transfer functions are determined and the frequency-dependent transfer functions are averaged, and wherein during determination of the averaged frequency-dependent transfer function at least a part of the determined frequency-dependent transfer functions is included in the averaging corresponding to a respectively associated frequency-dep

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention can relate to methods and devices for determining a room acoustic impulse response in a time domain. In one embodiment, an acoustic input signal from an acoustic signal source is emitted into an acoustic room, an acoustic output signal is detected by an acoustic measuring device in the room and fed from the acoustic measuring device to an evaluating device and, via the evaluating device, from a reference signal corresponding to the acoustic input signal, and the acoustic output signal, if necessary after prior processing of the acoustic output signal, a room acoustic impulse response in the time domain of the acoustic room is calculated in realtime and prepared for output in that, temporally in parallel and continuously, the acoustic input signal is emitted, the acoustic output signal is detected and, via the evaluating device, the room acoustic impulse response in the time domain is determined.
