Multi-Channel Playback of Audio Content

摘要

An example method is performed by a media playback system comprising a plurality of audio drivers having a first radiation pattern. The method includes receiving data representing audio content, where each datum of the data indicates (i) a frequency and (ii) an amplitude corresponding to the frequency. The method further includes, for each audio driver of the plurality of audio drivers, determining a transfer function; processing each datum of the data based on (i) the frequency indicated by the given datum and (ii) the determined transfer function; and providing, to the given audio driver, a respective signal representing the data processed for the given audio driver, thereby causing the plurality of audio drivers to play back the audio content according to a second radiation pattern that is different from the first radiation pattern. An example media playback system and an example non-transitory computer-readable medium related to the example method is also disclosed herein.

1. A media playback system comprising:
a processor; a plurality of audio drivers having a first radiation pattern; and a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that when executed by the processor cause the media playback system to perform functions comprising:
receiving data representing audio content, wherein each datum of the data indicates (i) a frequency and (ii) an amplitude corresponding to the frequency; andfor each audio driver of the plurality of audio drivers:
determining a transfer function;processing each datum of the data based on (i) the frequency indicated by the given datum and (ii) the determined transfer function; andproviding, to the given audio driver, a respective signal representing the data processed for the given audio driver,thereby causing the plurality of audio drivers to play back the audio content according to a second radiation pattern that is different from the first radiation pattern.
