Sound zone technology enables multiple people to have personal and shared listening
experiences without disturbing each other. Methods for constructing sound zones have now …

Personal Sound Zones (PSZ) systems aim to render independent sound signals to multiple
listeners within a room by using arrays of loudspeakers. One of the algorithms used to …

In sound zone control, the pressure matching (PM) algorithm is generally considered to
achieve relatively low acoustic contrast (AC) regardless of the desired sound field. In this …

Creating sound zones has been an active research field since the idea was first proposed.
So far, most sound zone control methods rely on either an optimization of physical metrics …

A sound zone control method is proposed, based on the frequency domain variable span
trade-off filter (VAST). Existing VAST methods optimizes the sound field at a set of discrete …

Personal sound zones provide users to experience independent listening and quiet areas in
the same acoustic environment using multiple loudspeakers. The generalized eigenvalue …

Sound zones are generated to provide independent audio reproduction to multiple people in
the same room using loudspeakers. In this article, sound zones are formulated in terms of a …

The creation of sound zones with frequency-domain variable span trade-off filters (VAST) is
investigated herein. Both narrowband and broadband discrete Fourier transform (DFT) …

Personal audio refers to the generation of spatially distinct sound zones that allow
individuals within a shared space to listen to their own audio material without affecting, or …

Sound zone algorithms control the inputs to a loudspeaker array such that spatially distinct
zones, each with separate audio content, are created. This work proposes a sound zone …
