摘要 |
The invention provides method and apparatus that utilize a plurality of port sub-arrays, in which each port sub-array comprises a plurality of acoustical ports. The ports of each port sub-array are spaced so that each port sub-array responds to acoustical signals that are generated by acoustical sources within an associated frequency range. In an embodiment of the invention, associated frequency ranges are related in a harmonic manner, in which each port sub-array corresponds to different frequency octaves. The associated frequency range is a portion of the total frequency range of an acoustical system. Received acoustical signals from each of the port sub-arrays are coupled over acoustical pathways and are converted into electrical signals by capsules that may be mounted in a capsule mounting. The electrical signals may be filtered, such as to reduce spatial aliasing, and post processed to further enhance the characteristics of the signals.
