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 36):
A method comprising:\n by a hardware processor,\n supplying a first audio signal to a first speaker so that the first speaker outputs the first audio signal toward a listening area; \n supplying second audio signals to a plurality of second speakers so that the plurality of second speakers output the second audio signals toward the listening area; \n generating a plurality of second signals; and \n causing the first speaker to output the plurality of second signals so that the plurality of second signals at least attenuate the second audio signals outputted by the plurality of second speakers.
