Audio apparatus and method therefor

An audio apparatus includes a receiver configured to receive audio data and audio transducer position data for a plurality of audio transducers; and a renderer configured to render the audio data by generating audio transducer drive signals for the audio transducers from the audio data. Further, a c...

Zusammenfassung:An audio apparatus includes a receiver configured to receive audio data and audio transducer position data for a plurality of audio transducers; and a renderer configured to render the audio data by generating audio transducer drive signals for the audio transducers from the audio data. Further, a clusterer is configured to cluster the audio transducers into a set of clusters in response to the audio transducer position data and to distances between audio transducers in accordance with a distance metric. A render controller is configured to adapt the rendering in response to the clustering. The apparatus is configured to select array processing techniques for specific subsets that contain audio transducers that are sufficiently close and allow automatic adaptation to audio transducer configurations thereby, e.g., allowing a user increased flexibility in positioning loudspeakers.
