A method for adjusting loudspeaker performance is based on a location of a listener of an audio system rendering a plurality of audio channels of an audio program within a listening environment. Data is received indicative of a location of the listener in the listening environment with respect to a first loudspeaker receiving a first audio channel and a second loudspeaker receiving a second audio channel. A time delay parameter value is determined for the first audio channel based on the listener location with respect to the first loudspeaker and a second loudspeaker. An audio level parameter value is adjusted for the first audio channel and/or the second audio channel based on the listener location.

System and method for adjusting loudspeaker performance based on listener location

A single enclosure multi-channel loudspeaker productcan use a transducer arrangement and signal processing system and method to generate the Stereo Dimensional Array ('SDA') effect (with effective interaural crosstalk cancelation (IACC)) including the generation of four distinct projections of sound in a listener's space from only three mid-bass drivers (e.g.L,C andR). The system and method of the present disclosure are configurable in a very compact soundbarwhose transducer arrangement permits reduced size and reduced driver count by employing a single center channel mid-bass transducerC with signal processing permitting reproduction of the two (L and R) channels associated with stereo or the multiple (e.g., 5.1.2) channels of home-theater audio bitstreams.

Loudspeaker systems

A signal processing method and Automotive Audio Systemcomprising a tripolar loudspeaker configuration housed in at least one automotive head-rest assemblyor, whose radiation pattern, in conjunction with inter-element delays and other design features, is such that that passengers are afforded temporal and amplitude cues for achieving the desired soundfield appropriate for a variety of audio program material. Optionally, some or all of the headrest assembly transducers are aligned and configured with a Floating Waveguide member

Automotive audio system transducer

A multi-zone media system and method for providing multi-zone media. As a non-limiting example, various aspects of this disclosure provide a system and method that flexibly presents media content (e.g., audio content) to a user as the user moves throughout a premises.

Multi-zone media system and method for providing multi-zone media

A virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and/or mixed reality (MR) system in a physical environment with a plurality of loudspeakers includes a user-worn head mounted display (HMD), a VR/AR/MR processor, and a VR/AR/MR user tracking processor. The HMD includes a microphone and a user tracking device configured to track a user orientation and position. The VR/AR/MR processor delivers a digital video signal to the head-mounted display, and a digital control signal and a digital audio signal to a receiver/preamplifier. The VR/AR/MR user tracking processor receives user tracking data from the HMD user tracking device and provides a digital user tracking data signal to the receiver preamplifier. the receiver/preamplifier receives the digital user tracking data signal, the digital control signal, the digitized microphone signal, and the digital audio signal, and provides a processed audio signal to the amplifier. An amplifier receives the processed audio signal and provides amplified audio signals.

Virtual and mixed reality audio system environment correction

A system and method for quieting unwanted sound. As a non-limiting example, various aspects of this disclosure provide a system and method, for example implemented in a premises-based or home audio system, for quieting unwanted sound at a particular location.

System and method for providing a quiet zone

A system and method for providing zone-specific media to a user. As a non-limiting example, various aspects of this disclosure provide a system and method that flexibly selects and provides media content (e.g., audio content), where such content is selected based, at least in part, on a user location (e.g., location within a premises).
