New Spatial Processing Algorithm for Sound Generation

UCSD inventors have designed a method that represents an advance in the area of accurate spatial processing of sounds. The invention is especially useful in reproducing spatially-significant sounds within a confined area (such as a concert hall, small club, or large arena) without specialized speaker placement.

The method can be implemented in home theater systems to optimize sound generation for a given speaker configuration, in surround sound music composition software, in pro-level audio engineering software and systems for optimal multi-track recording, and in a rack mount system for use in live performance to insure accurate reproduction of sound regardless of speaker set up or venue.
