Introduction
• Personal sound is an active research topic
www.posz.org3/19Stereophonic personal audio reproduction using
planarity control optimization
Introduction
• Two main approaches to sound zones [1]
- Energy cancellation- Least-squares error minimization
• Previous reported results limited to mono• Likely requirement for stereo from consumers• We investigate stereophonic personal audio

Background
• Create two virtual loudspeakers and quiet zone
• Require control of energy directionTarget listener gets stereo image
Listener in quiet zone undisturbed

Cost functions
• Pressure matching (PM; plane-wave target) [5]
pressure in the dark zone + bright zone reproduction error

Reproduction setup
• 60 channel circular circular array
• Two 25 × 35 cm zones• Calculate weights for each frequency (A/B;L/R)• Independent performance measurement set

Evaluation
• Acoustic contrast
• RMSE of energy direction
www.posz.org11/19Stereophonic personal audio reproduction using

Results
• Results summary
- PC gives best contrast- PM gives best accuracy of energy direction- Differing behavior above array aliasing limit

Summary
• Previous personal audio work in mono• Extension to stereo investigated• Implemented PC and PM on 60 channel circle• PC gave up to 30dB contrast • PC 6 dB greater contrast than PM
(freq. ave., 250-2000 Hz)• PM placement 1.2 degrees more accurate
(channel & freq. ave., 250-2000 Hz)• Further work should investigate perception
