Patent ID: 7783054

Claim:
A system for auralizing a given loudspeaker in a given monitoring room with one of a plurality of input signals, wherein the loudspeaker has a non-linear large signal behaviour, the system for auralizing comprising: a loudspeaker simulation unit that receives and filters the one of a plurality of input signals, comprising a first transmission function that describes at least partially the transmission behaviour of the loudspeaker including the non-linear large signal behaviour of the loudspeaker, including loudspeaker coil and loudspeaker diaphragm characteristics of the loudspeaker, where the loudspeaker simulation unit provides an loudspeaker simulation output signal; a room simulation unit that receives the loudspeaker simulation output signal, the room simulation unit comprising a second transmission function that describes at least partially the transmission behaviour of the given monitoring room, including a radiation characteristic of the loudspeaker, and provides a room simulation output signal; and a presentation unit that receives the room simulation output signal and produces an acoustic signal that corresponds to the auditory impression of the loudspeaker in the monitoring room.
