Abstract:
A system and method for applying an individual volume control setting to individual sound zones as set by a user. When the individual volume control setting differs from a master volume control setting, the individual volume control setting is applied to the low frequency component of the audio signal. Headrest and optional height speakers for each individual sound zone's independent volume setting are applied to the mid and high frequency components of the audio signal.

Claim (Index 1):
A system for independent volume adjustment of an audio signal for a sound zone in a plurality of sound zones, the system comprising:\n a plurality of loudspeakers associated with each sound zone in the plurality of sound zones; a tuning system having an equalizer applied to each loudspeaker in the plurality of loudspeakers for each sound zone; a gain modification setting for each sound zone that is set independently for each sound zone, the gain modification setting having a headrest gain setting for a stereo component of the audio signal and a bass gain setting for a mono component of the audio signal; a high pass filter applied to the audio signal to separate a stereo component for distribution to the plurality of loudspeakers in each sound zone in the plurality of sound zones and playback using the headrest gain setting; a low pass filter applied to the audio signal to separate a low frequency mono component for distribution to the plurality of loudspeakers in each sound zone and playback using the bass gain setting, the low frequency mono component having an individual sound zone algorithm applied thereto for distribution to all of the loudspeakers in the plurality of loudspeakers so that each individual zone using the bass gain setting; and routing the modified stereo component of the audio signal and the modified mono component of the audio signal to predetermined loudspeakers thereby defining a tunable field for each sound zone in the plurality of sound zones.
