Robust crosstalk cancellation for 3D sound using multiple loudspeakers

Abstract

Crosstalk cancellation is needed for 3D sound playback over two loudspeakers. A critical problem is the degraded spatial hearing due to head movements. Previous research has shown that multiple loudspeakers arrangement is more robust to such perturbation than two loudspeakers setup. In this paper, we will propose novel simplified shuffler structures of crosstalk cancellers for multiple loudspeakers. Their computational costs are lower than conventional setup. Perturbation analysis and computer simulation will demonstrate the advantages of using multiple loudspeakers.
