Abstract
A system for generating 3D sound with adjustable source positioning includes a first stage and a second stage, which is coupled to the first stage and to a speaker array that includes a plurality of speakers. The first stage is configured to position a plurality of virtual sound sources through a positioner output. The second stage is configured to generate a 3D signal for the speaker array based on the positioner output. The speaker array is configured to generate a 3D sound stage including the virtual sound sources based on the 3D signal. The first stage may be further configured to reposition the virtual sound sources.
