Abstract

A system including an audio source configured to transmit a first stimulus signal to one of a first beamforming loudspeaker assembly and a second beamforming loudspeaker assembly to play back an audio output and to receive the audio output from the one of the first beamforming loudspeaker assembly and the second beamforming loudspeaker assembly. The audio source is configured to determine a first distance between a first beamforming loudspeaker assembly and a second beamforming loudspeaker assembly and to determine a second distance between the audio source and the first beamforming loudspeaker assembly. The audio source is configured to determine a third distance between the audio source and the second beamforming loudspeaker assembly and to determine a location for transmitting the audio output from each of the first beamforming loudspeaker assembly and the second beamforming loudspeaker assembly based at least on the first distance, the second distance, and the third distance.
