ABSTRACT:
In a room with strong low-frequency modes the control of excessively long decays is problematic or impossible with conventional passive means. In this patent application a systematic methodology is presented for active modal equalization able to correct the modal decay behaviour of a loudspeaker-room system. Two methods of modal equalization are proposed. The first method modifies the primary sound such that modal decays are controlled. The second method uses separate primary and secondary radiators and controls modal decays with sound fed into at least one secondary radiator. Case studies of the first method of implementation are presented.
