Title: Array loudspeaker with steered nulls
Inventor: HOOLEY ANTHONY
IPC: H04R5/04
Filed: 2005-07-14
Abstract: A sound system uses steerable (phased) array techniques to generate a strong sound at a first location and a weak or null sound at a second location. The sound signal is split into a plurality of frequency bands and each frequency band is directed independently such that a trough in sound pressure level exists at a common location in space. Two such sound signals may be reproduced simultaneously, the first generating a strong sound at the first location and a null at the second location while the second generates a strong sound at the second location and a null at the first location. The two signals may be the left and right channels of a stereo signal, providing excellent cross-talk cancellation. Alternatively, the two signals may be different audio programmes, directed at two different listeners at the first and second locations.
