  • Patent number: 8340315
    Abstract: The invention relates to an assembly of acoustic transducers, a system and a method for receiving and reproducing sound. The assembly comprises a first acoustic transducer having a directional pattern of the shape of a figure of eight in the direction of an X axis of a XYZ coordinate system, and a second acoustic transducer placed perpendicularly relative to a first capsule and providing a directional pattern of the shape of a figure of eight in the direction of a Y axis of a XYZ coordinate system. The assembly is characterized in that it further comprises a third acoustic transducer placed perpendicularly relative to the first and second acoustic transducers, enabling the implementation of spatial sound both in a XY plane and in a XYZ plane by using these acoustic transducers placed in accordance with an axis of the axes of the XYZ coordinate system. The invention further provides a system and a method for processing signals received with the assembly.

  • Publication number: 20080219485
    Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus, system, and method for receiving or reproducing sound. In the method, acoustic signals are received with two dual-diaphragm acoustic transducers (10, 20) having a figure-of-eight directional pattern, which are directed on two-dimensional plane perpendicular to each other, and the directional patterns have directional pattern halves (XA, XB) and (YA, YB), respectively; a first signal (X) and a second signal (Y) are generated from the received signals.
