Crosstalk cancellation and equalisation for headrest sound reproduction
Crosstalk cancellation and equalisation for headrest sound reproduction
Loudspeakers mounted in the headrest of a seat could potentially be used for spatial sound reproduction in a number of applications. The natural cross-talk cancellation is found to be large in such an arrangement but the response from the loudspeakers to the closest ear depends strongly on the position of the head. In order to improve the reproduction of spatial audio with such a system, various methods of cross-talk cancellation and equalisation have been investigated. An averaged cross-talk cancellation system is introduced that minimises the reproduction error over a number of closely spaced positions, which causes less degradation of the performance away from the assumed head location than exact crosstalk cancellation at one point in space. This is found not to be necessary in this application, however, and a simpler system has been implemented that changes the overall gain of the signals driving the loudspeakers to compensate for the effect of the head position, as measured by a head tracker.

Abstract
Loudspeakers mounted in the headrest of a seat could potentially be used for spatial sound reproduction in a number of applications. The natural cross-talk cancellation is found to be large in such an arrangement but the response from the loudspeakers to the closest ear depends strongly on the position of the head. In order to improve the reproduction of spatial audio with such a system, various methods of cross-talk cancellation and equalisation have been investigated. An averaged cross-talk cancellation system is introduced that minimises the reproduction error over a number of closely spaced positions, which causes less degradation of the performance away from the assumed head location than exact crosstalk cancellation at one point in space. This is found not to be necessary in this application, however, and a simpler system has been implemented that changes the overall gain of the signals driving the loudspeakers to compensate for the effect of the head position, as measured by a head tracker.
