Loudspeaker Array
Loudspeaker arrays aim to improve sound reproduction by controlling sound directivity and compensating for room acoustics. Current research focuses on optimizing array designs, particularly spherical arrays, using techniques like beamforming algorithms (including those incorporating frequency regularization and Riemannian optimization) and machine learning for tasks such as room equalization and personalized audio adjustments for hearing-impaired listeners. These advancements are significant for enhancing audio quality in various applications, from home entertainment systems to hearing aid technology, by enabling more accurate and immersive sound experiences.
