Abstract
Sound zones are used to reproduce individual audio content to multiple people in a room using a set of loudspeakers with controllable input signals. To allow the reproduction of individual audio to dynamically change, e.g., due to moving listeners, changes in the number of listeners, or changing room transfer functions, an adaptive formulation is proposed. This formulation is based on frequency domain block adaptive filters and given room transfer functions. To reduce computational complexity, the system is extended to subband processing without cross-adaptive filters. The computational savings come from recognizing that sound zones consist of part-solutions which are inherently band limited, hence, several subbands can be ignored. To validate the theoretical findings, a 27-channel loudspeaker array was constructed, and measurements were performed in anechoic and reflective environments. The results show that the subband solution performs identically to a full-rate solution but at a reduced computational complexity.
