Robust Fixed-Filter Sound Zone Control with Audio-Based Position Tracking
Performance of sound zone control (SZC) systems deployed in practical scenarios are highly sensitive to the location of the listener(s) and can degrade significantly when listener(s) are moving. This paper presents a robust SZC system that adapts to dynamic changes such as moving listeners and varying zone locations using a dictionary-based approach. The proposed system continuously monitors the environment and updates the fixed control filters by tracking the listener position using audio signals only. To test the effectiveness of the proposed SZC method, simulation studies are carried out using practically measured impulse responses. These studies show that SZC, when incorporated with the proposed audio-only position tracking scheme, achieves optimal performance when all listener positions are available in the dictionary. Moreover, even when not all listener positions are included in the dictionary, the method still provides good performance improvement compared to a traditional fixed filter SZC scheme.

Isolation performance metrics for personal sound zone reproduction systems
Two isolation performance metrics, Inter-Zone Isolation (IZI) and Inter-Program Isolation (IPI), are introduced for evaluating Personal Sound Zone (PSZ) systems. Compared to the commonly-used Acoustic Contrast metric, IZ…
Neural personal sound zones with flexible bright zone control
Personal sound zone (PSZ) reproduction system, which attempts to create distinct virtual acoustic scenes for different listeners at their respective positions within the same spatial area using one loudspeaker array, is …
Sound Zone Control Robust To Sound Speed Change
Sound zone control (SZC) implemented using static optimal filters is significantly affected by various perturbations in the acoustic environment, an important one being the fluctuation in the speed of sound, which is in …
Zones of quiet in a broadband diffuse sound field
The zones of quiet in pure-tone diffuse sound fields have been studied extensively in the past, both theoretically and experimentally, with the well known result of the 10\,dB attenuation extending to about a tenth of a …
The feasibility of sound zone control using an array of parametric array loudspeakers
Parametric array loudspeakers (PALs) are known for producing highly directional audio beams, a feat more challenging to achieve with conventional electro-dynamic loudspeakers (EDLs). Due to their intrinsic physical mecha…
