Abstract
A system and method for applying an individual volume control setting to individual sound zones as set by a user. When the individual volume control setting differs from a master volume control setting, the individual volume control setting is applied to the low frequency component of the audio signal. Headrest and optional height speakers for each individual sound zone's independent volume setting are applied to the mid and high frequency components of the audio signal.
