Abstract:
A loudspeaker-room system that is configured to establish a sound zone includes a room encompassing a listening position, and a loudspeaker arrangement disposed in the room in the vicinity of the listening position, the loudspeaker arrangement being configured to receive a multiplicity of electrical loudspeaker drive signals and to convert them into sound radiated to the listening position so that a maximum sound energy of the radiated sound is concentrated at the listening position. The system further includes a signal processing arrangement operatively connected upstream of the loudspeaker arrangement, wherein the signal processing arrangement includes a multiple-input multiple-output system and is configured to process at least one input signal and to provide the multiplicity of loudspeaker drive signals. The loudspeaker arrangement includes at least one line array of loudspeakers, and the at least one line array of loudspeakers includes at least three two loudspeakers with centers disposed in a line and distributed along the line according to a non-linear center to center distance distribution scheme.

Claim (Index 3):
The system of  claim 1 , wherein the line array of loudspeakers comprises: an inner pair of loudspeakers configured to receive one of the loudspeaker drive signals from the signal processing arrangement;\n a center point along the line array, wherein the inner pair of loudspeakers is centered about the center point at a center to center distance between the loudspeakers of the first pair of loudspeakers; and at least two subsequent pairs of loudspeakers, including an outer pair of loudspeakers, arranged in line with the inner pair of loudspeakers and centered about the center point, the at least two subsequent pairs of loudspeakers being spaced such that the center to center distance between the loudspeakers of each of the subsequent pairs of loudspeakers increases non-linearly from the inner pair of loudspeakers to the outer pair of loudspeakers.
