Patent number: 11792596Abstract: There is provided a method of controlling an array of loudspeakers. The method comprises: receiving a plurality of input audio signals to be reproduced, by the array, at a respective plurality of control points in an acoustic environment; and generating a respective output audio signal for each of the loudspeakers in the array by applying a set of filters to the plurality of input audio signals. The set of filters is based on: a first plurality of filter elements based on a first approximation of a set of transfer functions, each transfer function in the set of transfer functions being between an audio signal applied to a respective one of the loudspeakers and an audio signal received at a respective one of the control points from the respective one of the loudspeakers; and a second plurality of filter elements based on a second approximation of the set of transfer functions.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2021Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: AUDIOSCENIC LIMITEDInventors: Filippo Maria Fazi, Eric Hamdan, Andreas Franck, Marcos Simón
