Abstract:
The invention relates to a sound wall comprising in total M elements comprising a front face (F), where the sound wall ( 1 ) has a lateral extension along an x-axis and a vertical extension along a y-axis, where the sound wall ( 1 ) comprises N elements ( 3 ), where N≤M, which N elements in the front face (F) of each respective of these N elements are provided with a sound radiating unit, such as one or more loudspeaker units, configured to radiate sound energy from the respective front face and into the surroundings, such that a sound field can be created in front of the sound wall; where the sound wall is provided with signal providing means configured to provide the sound radiating units with a signal that is a combination of input signals, such as the left and right channel signals S 1 (t), S 2 (t) of a stereophonic signal. In embodiments of the invention, the sound wall ( 1 ) further comprises A elements ( 2 ), where A≤M−N, which A elements ( 2 ) are provided with sound absorbing means associated with the front face (F), whereby the sound wall ( 1 ) can be used to reduce the reverberation time of a room or other enclosure, in which the sound wall ( 1 ) is provided and/or H elements ( 4 ), where H≤M−N−A, which H elements ( 4 ) comprises hardware components configured to control and provide signals to the sound radiating units in said N elements ( 3 ). The invention also relates to a method for controlling a sound field in front of the sound wall.

Claim (Index 13):
A method for creating and controlling a sound field in front of a sound wall, where the sound wall ( 1 ) has a lateral extension along an x-axis and a vertical extension along a y-axis, which sound wall comprises N modules of a first kind each comprising sound radiating units, such as loudspeakers, the modules being provided at predetermined positions in the sound wall where the units are configured to radiate sound energy to the region in front of the sound wall, where the method comprises providing said sound radiating units with a signal that is a combination of processed or unprocessed and right channel signals S 1 (t), S 2 (t) of a stereophonic signal.
