This paper describes a time domain design method for calculating the coefficients of FIR
filters used to drive a loudspeaker array for personal audio. A motivating application is to …

Reproduction of multiple sound zones, in which personal audio programs may be consumed
without the need for headphones, is an active topic in acoustical signal processing. Many …

The acoustic environment in an automobile cabin has a significant effect on the perceived
quality of the vehicle. There are two components of the acoustic environment in the …

In order to reduce annoyance from the audio output of personal devices, it is necessary to
maintain the sound level at the user position while minimizing the levels elsewhere. If the …

A superdirective array of audio drivers is described, which is compact compared with the
acoustic wavelength over some of its frequency range. In order to minimize the overall …

Controlled sound interference has been extensively investigated using a prototype dual
layer loudspeaker array comprised of 16 loudspeakers. Results are presented for measures …

Personal audio systems generate a local sound field for a listener while attenuating the
sound energy at pre-defined quiet zones. In practice, system performance is sensitive to …

The widespread use of loudspeakers on mobile devices to reproduce audio in public spaces
has led to issues of both user privacy and noise nuisance. Previous work has investigated …

Spatial active noise control (ANC) systems focus on minimizing unwanted acoustic noise
over a continuous spatial region. Conventionally, spatial ANC systems are proposed using …
