Spatial soundfield reproduction with zones of quiet
نویسندگان
چکیده
Reproduction of a spatial soundfield in an extended region of open space with a designated quiet zone is a challenging problem in audio signal processing. We show how to reproduce a given spatial soundfield without altering a nearby quiet zone. In this paper, we design a spatial band stop filter over the zone of quiet to suppress the interference from the nearby desired soundfield. This is achieved by using higher order spatial harmonics to cancel the undesirable effects of the lower order harmonics of the desired soundfield on the zone of quiet. We illustrate the theory and design by simulating a 2D spatial soundfield.

The Future of Audio Reproduction - Technology - Formats - Applications
The introduction of new techniques for audio reproduction such as binaural technology, Wave Field Synthesis and Higher Order Ambisonics is accompanied by a paradigm shift from channel-based to object-based transmission and storage of spatial audio. The separate coding of source signal and source location is not only more efficient considering the number of channels used for reproduction by larg...
متن کاملPerformance Evaluation of Active Systems Using the Novel Method of Designing Larger Quiet Zones in Diffuse Fields
This study evaluates the performance of quiet zones in broad-band diffuse fields using two and three channel systems. A novel method of designing zones of quiet has been proposed to obtain larger zones of quiet than are obtained with conventional methods. The principle of this new method is to maximize the area of the 10dB quiet zones over space and frequency in broad-band diffuse fields. This ...
متن کاملImplementing spherical microphone array to determine 3D sound propagation in the "Teatro 1763" in Bologna, Italy
A new method for recording the spatial properties of a soundfield, or for generating a synthetic three-dimensional soundfield, is described. The spatial distribution of sound waves passing at a point in space is sampled by means of a number of virtual directive microphones, covering the surface of a sphere. This corresponds to a discretization of the spatial information, which is exactly the sp...

متن کاملQuiet Zones for Active Control of Sound Using Spherical Loudspeaker Array
Active control of sound can be employed globally to reduce noise levels in an entire enclosure, or locally around a listener‘s head. Recently, spherical loudspeaker arrays have been studied as multiple-channel sound sources capable of generating sound fields with high complexity. In this paper, several aspects of using a spherical loudspeaker array for local active control of sound are investig...
