Abstract
The present invention relates to methods and systems for determining an equalization filter for one or more loudspeakers provided in an enclosure, such as a listening room or an automobile cabin. A method for determining an equalization filter for one or more loudspeakers provided in an enclosure comprises the steps of providing the one or more loudspeakers with an audio input signal whereby a sound field is generated in the enclosure; determining an acoustic contribution or room gain of the enclosure to the generated sound field; forming a speaker equalization filter as the square root of the ratio between a target acoustic power output and the actual acoustic power output from the loudspeaker driver(s), which actual acoustic power output is calculated as the square of the power averaged sound pressure divided by the room gain; and determining the equalization filter as the speaker equalization filter.
