Abstract:
Embodiments of systems and methods are described for reducing undesired leakage energy produced by a non-front-facing speaker in a multi-speaker system. For example, the multi-speaker system can include an array of forward-facing speakers, one or more upward-facing speakers, and/or one or more side-facing speakers. Filters coupled to any two of the speakers in the multi-speaker system can generate audio signals output by the coupled speakers to reduce, attenuate, or cancel a portion of an audio signal output by one or more non-front-facing speakers that acoustically propagates along a direct path from the respective non-front-facing speaker to a listening position in a listening area in front of the multi-speaker system.

Claim (Index 22):
The multi-speaker system of  claim 21 , further comprising:\n a third speaker; and a second filter corresponding to the third speaker, wherein the second filter is configured to:\n generate a third signal, and \n provide the third signal to the third speaker, \n wherein the plurality of second signals and the third signal collectively at least attenuate the input audio signal acoustically propagated by the plurality of first speakers along the direct path to the listening area.
