Abstract:
An electronic device that provides dynamic equalization in a directional speaker array is described. Based at least in part on audio content and an acoustic radiation pattern associated with a second electronic device, the electronic device may determine drive signals for a set of drivers. Then, the electronic device may adjust the drive signals for at least a subset of the set of drivers based at least in part on a distortion margin in at least the subset of the drivers, where the distortion margin is based at least in part on the drive signals, a distortion threshold of at least the subset of the drivers and a volume setting. Next, based at least in part on the adjusted drive signals, the electronic device may output, using the set of drivers, the sound corresponding to the audio content.

Claim (Index 8):
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for use with an electronic device, the computer-readable storage medium storing program instructions that, when executed by the electronic device, causes the electronic device to perform one or more operations comprising:\n receiving, at an interface circuit in the electronic device, audio content and an acoustic radiation pattern associated with a second electronic device, wherein the acoustic radiation pattern has a beam with a principal direction; determining drive signals for a set of drivers in the electronic device based at least in part on the audio content and the acoustic radiation pattern; adjusting the drive signals for at least a subset of the set of drivers based at least in part on a distortion margin in at least the subset of the drivers, wherein the distortion margin is based at least in part on the drive signals, a distortion threshold of at least the subset of the drivers and a volume setting, and wherein the adjustment trades off directivity of the acoustic radiation pattern and sound distortion in a band of frequencies below 400 Hz based at least in part on the drive signals, the distortion threshold and the volume setting; and outputting, based at least in part on the adjusted drive signals and the acoustic radiation pattern, sound corresponding to the audio content using the set of drivers.
