Zusammenfassung:A method and apparatus for attenuating acoustic reflections related to sound radiated by a loudspeaker in an acoustic space. According to the method, at least one cancelling loudspeaker is used for radiating a canceling sound in the space. The signal required for producing the cancelling sound is sampled from the sound reproduction apparatus prior to the processing of the original sound signal for emission into the acoustic space. The sample signal is low-pass filtered, delayed, amplified and inverted prior to being taken to the cancelling loudspeaker. The sound reproduction apparatus includes a signal sampling device, control devices, and at least one cancelling loudspeaker for radiating the cancelling sound.
