Design and Performance of a Sigma–Delta Digital Loudspeaker Array Prototype*

چکیده

Digital loudspeaker arrays (DLAs) are electroacoustic transducers reconstructing acoustic signals out of binary audio streams, usually consisting of a digital signal processing module driving multiple actuators (small loudspeakers). In this work a DLA prototype was implemented using an all-digital audio chain driven by 1-bit sigma–delta signals. The prototype implementation is described and its performance measured and evaluated using frequencydomain and THD analysis. These results also compare the DLA performance when driven by either sigma–delta or PCM input signals.

Smart directional and diffuse digital loudspeaker arrays

A theory of smart loudspeaker arrays is described where a modified Fourier technique yields complex filter coefficients to determine the broadband radiation characteristics of a uniform array of micro drive units. Beam width and direction are individually programmable over a 180-degree arc, where multiple agile and steerable beams carrying dissimilar signals can be accommodated. A novel method ...
