Design and Evaluation of Digital Filters Applied to Loudspeaker/room Equalization
نویسندگان
چکیده
Different methods to design digital filters aimed for equalization of loudspeaker/room responses are considered. Design of inverse filters is based on measured loudspeaker/room impulse responses combined with roomand psychoacoustic knowledge. Frequency dependent smoothing and nonlinear equalization effort is applied, and a new iterative method based on both timeand frequency domain criteria is proposed.

Equalization of Loudspeaker and Room Responses Using Kautz Filters: Direct Least Squares Design
DSP-based correction of loudspeaker and room responses is becoming an important part of improving sound reproduction. Such response equalization (EQ) is based on using a digital filter in cascade with the reproduction channel to counteract the response errors introduced by loudspeakers and room acoustics. Several FIR and IIR filter design techniques have been proposed for equalization purposes....

The impulse response c[n] characterizing the system of a loudspeaker and a microphone placed in a closed room contains information on the electroacoustical properties of loudspeaker and microphone as well as the acoustical properties of the room. The corresponding transfer function C(z) offers information on the magnitude and phase of the system when regarded as a digital filter. A part of this...
متن کاملAudio Equalization with Fixed-Pole Parallel Filters: An Efficient Alternative to Complex Smoothing
Recently, the fixed-pole design of parallel second-order filters has been proposed to accomplish arbitrary frequency resolution similarly to Kautz filters, at 2/3 of their computational cost. This paper relates the parallel filter to the complex smoothing of transfer functions. Complex smoothing is a well-established method for limiting the frequency resolution of audio transfer functions for a...
