  • Publication number: 20090304194
    Abstract: An identification method and apparatus in a sound-reproduction system, in which an electrical calibration signal is created, an audio signal is created in the loudspeaker from the calibration signal, the response of the audio signal is measured and analysed, and the system is adjusted on the basis of the measurement results. A light signal is created in the loudspeaker with the aid of a centralized control system, in order to indicate visually the loudspeaker that is the subject of the calibration.
