2.5D Sound Field Reproduction Using Higher Order Loudspeakers

چکیده
Using 3-Dimensional (3D) sound sources as secondary sources to 2-Dimensional (2D) sound field reproduction, it is termed 2.5-Dimensional (2.5D) sound field reproduction which is currently drawing broad interest in acoustic signal processing. In this paper we propose a method to reproduce a 2D sound field, using a circular array of 3D High Order (HO) loudspeakers, which provides a mode matching solution based on 3D wave field translation. Using the spherical addition theorem, we first obtain a spherical harmonics representation of a 2D sound field reproduced by an array of HO loudspeakers. Then, the corresponding relationship between the reproduced sound field and the desired sound field is established by spherical/cylindrical harmonic expansions. Finally, the modal weights of HO loudspeakers are designed by using a least squares method. Simulation results show that the proposed method extends the reproduction region and significantly reduces the required minimum number of loudspeakers over the other referenced methods.

A study on 3-D Sound Field Localization System Using Parametric Loudspeaker and Indirect Loudspeakers for Reverberation Reproduction
3-D sound field reproduction systems can provide listeners with a sense of presence. In this study, we have proposed the 3-D sound field localization system using parametric loudspeakers. This system can easily represent sound images on the wall by using parametric loudspeakers that have a high directivity. In contrast, it is difficult to reproduce reverberant environments such as a concert hal...
متن کاملHigh order Ambisonic decoding method for irregular loudspeaker arrays
Ambisonics, a sound field synthesis and reproduction technique, has shown promising results in conveying three-dimensional spatialized sound. Ambisonic encodings directly describe the spatial properties of sound fields without reference to the reproduction system. Precise regeneration of a sound field requires a large number of loudspeakers arranged so as to adequately sample all directions; th...
متن کاملA Directional Loudspeaker Array for Surround Sound in Reverberant Rooms
We present a method to enhance the performance of the sound field reproduction approach to 2-D surround sound applicable for reverberant rooms, under the constraint that only a small number of loudspeakers is permissible. The method is based on the idea of using steerable directional loudspeakers to exploit the room reverberation. In home theater applications, exact sound field reproduction is ...
متن کاملReproduction of a plane-wave sound field using an array of loudspeakers
Reproduction of a sound field is a fundamental problem in acoustic signal processing. In this paper, we use a spherical harmonics analysis to derive performance bounds on how well an array of loudspeakers can recreate a three-dimensional (3-D) plane-wave sound field within a spherical region of space. Specifically, we develop a relationship between the number of loudspeakers, the size of the re...
متن کاملLocal sound field reproduction using two closely spaced loudspeakers
When only two loudspeakers are used for the reproduction of sound for a single listener, time domain simulations show that it is advantageous that the two loudspeakers are very close together. The sound field reproduced by two loudspeakers that span 10 degrees as seen by the listener is simpler, and locally more similar to the sound field generated by a real sound source, than that reproduced b...
