<p>Decoder for feeding an irregular array of m (being three or more) pairs of diametrically opposite loudspeakers, each loudspeaker being disposed at an equal distance r from a common reference point. The decoder incorporates a WXY circuit (10) for producing output signals (W, X, Y and -jW) from the input signals, and shelf filters (12, 14, 16 and 22) and high-pass filters (18, 20 and 24) for producing output signals (W", X", Y" and -jW(Alpha)). In addition the decoder includes an amplitude matrix circuit (26) which is such that the sum of the signals (S(Alpha) and S(Alpha) fed to the loudspeakers of each pair is the same of all pairs of loudspeakers and (FORMULA) where (FORMULA) M being the 2 x m matrix (FORMULA) K being the mx 2 matrix (FORMULA) I being the 2 x 2 identity matrix, and X being a positive real constant which may be frequency dependent. A decoder is also provided for feeding a three-dimensional loudspeaker layout. Thus the outputs of the loudspeakers may be adapted to irregular positioning of the loudspeakers which may be dictated by room geometry. </p> |
