Filed:

May 25, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/864294

Inventors:

Randall B. Metcalf - Cantonment FL 32553

International Classification:

G10H 300

US Classification:

84723, 84737, 84DIG 27, 84600, 381 26, 381 91, 381 92, 381307

Abstract:

A sound system and method for modeling a sound field generated by a sound source and creating a sound event based on the modeled sound field is disclosed. The system and method captures a sound field over an enclosing surface, models the sound field and enables reproduction of the modeled sound field. Explosion type acoustical radiation may be used. Further, the reproduced sound field may be modeled and compared to the original sound field model.

International Classification:

H04R 5/02
H04R 5/027
H04R 5/04

US Classification:

381 26, 381300, 381 28, 369 5, 369 91, 369 92

Abstract:

A sound system for capturing and reproducing sounds produced by a plurality of sound sources. The system comprises a device for receiving sounds produced by the plurality of sound sources and converting the separately received sounds to a plurality of separate audio signals without mixing the audio signals. The system may further comprise a device for separately storing the plurality of separate audio signals on a recording medium without mixing the audio signals and a device for reading the stored audio signals from the recording medium. The system further includes a reproduction system for recreating the plurality of separate audio signals. Also, the system comprises an amplification network which comprises a plurality of amplifier systems, with one or more separate amplifiers in each amplifier system for separately amplifying each of the separate audio signals. The system also comprises a loudspeaker network which comprises a plurality of loudspeaker systems with one or more separate loudspeakers in each loudspeaker system for separately reproducing the plurality of audio signals. A dynamic controller may be used to control the micro relationships of the components within a signal path and the macro relationships among the separate signal paths.

International Classification:

H04R 5/02

US Classification:

381300, 381118, 381119, 381120, 84600, 715727

Abstract:

A system and method for recording and reproducing three-dimensional sound events using a discretized, integrated macro-micro sound volume for reproducing a 3D acoustical matrix that reproduces sound including natural propagation and reverberation. The system and method may include sound modeling and synthesis that may enable sound to be reproduced as a volumetric matrix. The volumetric matrix may be captured, transferred, reproduced, or otherwise processed, as a spatial spectra of discretely reproduced sound events with controllable macro-micro relationships.
