Abstract
An audio reproduction device and method for room correction based on occupancy determination is provided. The audio reproduction device includes a speaker which reproduces audio, and includes a memory which stores a plurality of room-correction (RC) presets. The audio reproduction of the speaker is controlled within an enclosed physical space based on each of the plurality of RC presets. The audio reproduction device receives an occupancy signal from at least one sensor communicatively coupled with the audio reproduction device. The audio reproduction device further determines a number of people of a set of people, present in the enclosed physical space, based on the received occupancy signal. The audio reproduction device retrieves first room-correction (RC) preset from the stored plurality of RC presets based on the determined number of people. The audio reproduction device further controls the audio reproduction of the speaker based on the retrieved first RC preset.
