Description
The present invention relates to a device for controlling output of a vertical speaker set using target angle information, and more particularly to a technique for setting a direction angle and a gain of individual speakers differently according to target angle information.
One characteristic that typically determines the performance of a loudspeaker is directivity. Adjusting the orientation angle of the loudspeaker is very difficult in an acoustic environment. Creating a highly intelligent orientation pattern in real architecture can be a crucial factor in creating desired sound results.
The directivity of the loudspeaker system is physically limited to the law of motion in the air. How the sound progresses in the air is as follows. It advances in a certain direction, reflects when there is an obstruction, diffracts when there is an obstruction, passes when there is an obstruction, and is absorbed when there is obstruction.
Because of this characteristic, existing speakers are very difficult to have directivity. However, the traditional way to control this property is to use a waveguide. This method is very useful for controlling short wavelengths. However, there are limitations in controlling the mid and low frequencies below 1 KHz. A large waveguide must be inevitably used and there is a problem that it can not be used for indoor construction with a limited size.
Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1086398 (published on Nov. 25, 2011) discloses a directivity-controllable speaker system using a plurality of microphones and a method thereof. The speaker system is provided with an impulse- And outputs the read compensator filter coefficient to the input audio signal to output the compensated filter coefficient to the speaker. In this way, And adjusting the directivity of the antenna.
However, the above-described conventional technique is merely for controlling the directivity, and there is a limit in that it is difficult to control according to the directivity pattern.
The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems occurring in the prior art, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a vertical speaker set capable of improving clarity of sound and understanding of words by controlling a steering angle in a narrow space, The present invention provides a device for controlling output of a vertical speaker set using target angle information that can overcome a limitation of a physical position and obtain a different sound effect by controlling an output gain by changing a position of a sound image.
The apparatus for controlling the output of the vertical speaker set using the target angle information according to the embodiment of the present invention may be configured to determine the length and the number of the speaker sets arranged in the vertical direction, A delay time information generator for generating delay time information of each of the speakers using target angle information of the sound outputted from the speaker set and the distance information; An output gain information generator for generating output gain information of each speaker using the emission information and the delay time information; and a control unit for controlling output of each speaker according to the delay time information and the output gain information .
The delay time information generation unit may calculate the delay time according to the following equation:
Here, tn represents the delay time of the nth speaker among the speaker sets, c represents the speed of light, d represents the distance between the speakers, and? Represents the target angle information of the sound from the horizontal plane of the speaker set.
Also, the output gain information generator may calculate the delay time using the following equation when the vertical radiation information is a convergent type.
Where t i n is the convergent delay time of the nth speaker of the set of speakers, c is the speed of light, L 0 is the distance between the origin of the sound from the center speaker of the set of speakers, θ n is the center speaker, And the angle between the n-th speaker and the n-th speaker, Hn represents a distance between the n-th speaker and the center speaker.
Further, when the vertical radiation information is of a divergence type, the delay time can be calculated using the following equation:
Here, t o n is the divergent delay time of the nth speaker of the set of speakers, c is the speed of light, L i is the distance between the inner origin of the sound from the center speaker of the set of speakers, θ n is the center speaker, An angle between the origin and the nth speaker, and Hn represents a distance between the center speaker and the nth speaker.
The apparatus may further include an output gain information modifying unit for modifying each of the output gain information according to target spot information among the speaker sets.
Therefore, it is possible to increase the clarity of the sound and the understanding of the word by adjusting the directivity angle in a narrow space by using the vertical speaker set. By controlling the radiation pattern of the sound output from the vertical speaker set, And it is possible to obtain a different sound effect by controlling the output gain by changing the position of the sound image.

In Table 1, it can be seen that the gain (dB) of each speaker varies according to the angle of the vertical radiation information. For example, in the case of having vertical radiation information of 30 degrees, the gain of the reference speakers 5 and 6 is set to 0 dB, and the gain can be increased toward the outermost one of neighboring speakers. In this manner, the gain between the reference speaker and the outermost speaker can be set up to -3 dB.

In Table 2, the output gain of the neighboring speakers is modified depending on which one of the vertical speaker sets 10 is set as the spot speaker by positioning the sound image. For example, if the speaker is positioned at the center of the speaker 5 or 6, the output gain is not corrected. However, if the spot is located at a specific position such as speaker 1, speaker 3, or
