  • Patent number: 11095976
    Abstract: A sound system with a plurality of speakers is shown and described. The orientation of a second subset of the speakers is automatically adjustable relative to the orientation of a first subset of speakers. In certain examples, the system detects whether the audio signals it receives include up-firing content and adjusts the relative orientations when such content is provided. The sound system is also configured to calculate a desired degree of rotation for the speakers in the second subset based on the geometry of the room in which the sound system is located and the location of the listener in the room.
