Higher-order listening room compensation with additive compensation signals

Abstract
The performance of sound reproduction systems for spatial audio is impaired by time-variant, reverberant listening environments. To tackle this issue, the Loudspeaker-Enclosure-Microphone System (LEMS) between the loudspeakers and reference microphones in the listening environment can be identified adaptively to allow an LEMS-specific pre-processing of the loudspeaker signals. This contribution introduces a broadband implementation of a narrowband Listening Room Compensation (LRC) method with additive compensation signals, recently proposed by Talagala et al. [1], it extends the concept to higher-order compensation, and compares LRC to Listening Room Equalization (LRE) analytically. Evaluations in an image-source environment confirm the efficacy of higher-order LRC and its suitability as a complexity-reduced alternative to LRE.
