Abstract
A method for localization of sound in a speaker system comprises determining speaker locations of a plurality of speakers in a speaker system, determining a user location of a user within a room, and modifying audio signals to be transmitted to each of the plurality of speakers based on the user location in the room relative to a corresponding one of the speaker locations. An optimum modification of the audio signals for each of the plurality of speakers includes eliminating locational effects of the user location within the room.
