Abstract

A general formulation is presented of the optimum controller in an active system for local sound control in a spatially random primary field. The sound field in a control region is selectively attenuated using secondary sources, driven by reference sensors, all of which are potentially remote from this control region. It is shown that the optimal controller has the form of a remote microphone system, with a least-squares estimation of the disturbance signals in the control region from the reference signals. The sound field under control is assumed to be generated by an array of primary sources, whose source strengths are specified using a spectral density matrix. This can easily be used to synthesize a diffuse primary field, if the primary sources are uncorrelated and far from the control region, but can also generate primary fields dominated by contributions from a particular direction, for example, which is shown to significantly affect the shape of the resulting zone of quiet.
