20140192987 | MATRIX ENCODER WITH IMPROVED CHANNEL SEPARATION - An encoder is disclosed for use in a surround sound system wherein at least four audio input signals (FL, FR, RL, RR) representing an original sound field are encoded into two channel signals (L, and the encoded two channel signals are decoded into at least four audio output signals (FL′, FR′, RL′, RR′) corresponding to the four audio input signals. The encoder includes matrix means connected to receive the four audio input signals for encoding the four input signals into two channel (L and R) output signals. The matrix means includes means responsive to the four input signals for producing L | 07-10-2014 |
20120308016 | MATRIX ENCODER WITH IMPROVED CHANNEL SEPARATION - An encoder and encoding method for use in a surround sound system wherein at least four audio input signals representing an original sound field are encoded into two channel signals and the encoded two channel signals are decoded into at least four audio output signals corresponding to the four audio input signals. The encoder includes matrix structure connected to receive the four audio input signals for encoding the four input signals into two channel output signals. The matrix structure is responsive to the four input signals for producing L and R output signals as follows:

20120163607 | MATRIX DECODER FOR SURROUND SOUND - A decoder and decoding method for use in surround sound system wherein at least four audio input signals representing an original sound field are encoded into two channel signals and said encoded signals are decoded into at least four audio output signals corresponding to the four audio input signals and have an amplitude ratio and a phase relationship. The decoder and method including means for: compensating the said encoded signals for variations in perceived loudness relative to frequency associated with the encoded two channel signals due to non linearity in human hearing response at least at some frequencies; producing steering signals in responsive to the phase relationship of the said compensated signals; decoding said encoded signals to produce audio output signals corresponding to audio input signals by varying at least the amplitude ratio of said encoded signals contained in each of the output signals in response to said steering signals. | 06-28-2012 |
20120155679 | LOUDSPEAKER SYSTEM FOR REPRODUCING MULTI-CHANNEL SOUND WITH AN IMPROVED SOUND IMAGE - A loudspeaker system for reproducing multichannel sound with an improved sound image in a listening zone is disclosed. The loudspeaker system includes a first speaker array for location in a first position relative to the listening zone and a second speaker array for location in a second position relative to the listening zone. The first speaker array includes a first radiating lobe for radiating first sound of the multichannel sound and at least a second radiating lobe for radiating a delayed version of the first sound. The second speaker array includes a first radiating lobe for radiating second sound of the multichannel sound, and at least a second radiating lobe for radiating a delayed version of the second sound. The loudspeaker system includes means for modifying the radiating or polar pattern associated with each radiating lobe; wherein the system is arranged such that a listening position substantially equidistant from the first and second arrays is exposed to radiation from the second lobes or from the first lobes and a listening position not substantially equidistant from the first and second arrays is exposed to radiation from both the first lobe of one array and the second lobe of the other array such that substantially all positions in the listening zone receive sound radiation from the first and second arrays with substantially equal arrival times. | 06-21-2012 |
