Abstract
In at least one embodiment, a system for controlling a multi-beam constant beamwidth transducer (CBT) array is provided. The system includes a loudspeaker assembly and at least one controller. The loudspeaker assembly includes a CBT array of transducers configured to transmit a first sound beam at a first tilt angle into a listening environment. The at least one controller is programmed to receive an input indicative of at least one of dimensions of the listening environment, a location of the loudspeaker assembly, and a location of a user in the listening environment. The at least one controller is further programmed to dynamically control the CBT array of transducers to transmit the first sound beam at a second tilt angle that is different than the first tilt angle into the listening environment based on the input.
