- Abstract
- In this paper, we introduce a multichannel compatible two-layer speaker array system that delivers immersive sound. Owing to the appearance of UHD-TV and 3DTV, 3D rendering of sound is now required these days to keep pace with the immersive visual experience of such systems. However, while traditional multichannel loudspeaker formats such as 5.1-ch or 7.1-ch provide reasonable surround sound quality, such systems require a secluded space and are a challenge to install for laypersons. Furthermore, if each speaker is not properly placed, the original sound image will be distorted. Therefore, in this paper, we introduce a two-layer array speaker system that renders an immersive audio effect and is easy to install by placing it around the user’s TV set. We introduce the system layout of the two-layer array speaker system and the simulation results of the sound reflection. In addition, the signal flow of our proposed system is described. Unlike conventional speaker configurations, which are only available for their own formats, our proposed two-layer speaker system is compatible with all formats used up to 22.2-ch, as well as all stereo types, including 5.1-ch, 7.1ch, 9.1-ch, 10.1-ch.
