ACOUSTIC SURROUND IMMERSION CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A method and speaker system that provides a single, user adjustable tool for controlling how and which spatialization parameters are used in a single speaker multi-driver system to enhance the sound stage. The tool creates the desired amount of audio surround effect to enhance the sound stage experience or effects in multiple sound recording mode, such as music or movies. The tool is represented in a scale that runs from ‘−10’ (less immersive) to ‘+10’ (more immersive) is set to taste by the listener and will vary with room acoustics and placement.

主权项

1. An audio speaker system comprising:
a speaker having a housing and a plurality of speaker drivers; wherein said speaker drivers are operably associated with an audio signal source and capable of generating audio sound at a plurality of audio frequencies corresponding to a right channel, left channel, center channel and rear channels of an audio signal; a digital signal processor electrically associated with the speaker drivers and audio signal source, said processor receiving the audio signal from the audio signal source and modifying said audio signal such that the resulting audio signal include changes in the timing of signal transmission, volume level or frequency of the right channel, left channel, center channel or rear channel signals such that the generated audio sound provides psychoacoustic cues corresponding to acoustical characteristics that reproduce the original spatial acoustic experience; a display associated with said speaker drivers and processor; wherein said display provides an on screen image representation of the acoustical characteristics and wherein such acoustical characteristics may be modified.
