AUDIO APPARATUS AND METHOD THEREFOR Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC H04S7/00 G10L19/08 

FIELD: electrical communication engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the processing of audio signals and is intended to adapt the rendering to unknown configurations of audio converters. In the method, the audio apparatus comprises a receiver for receiving audio data and position data of the audio transducers for a plurality of audio transducers. And the renderer renders the audio data by generating audio transducer drive signals for audio transducers from the audio data. In addition, the clusterer clusters the audio transducers into a set of audio transducer clusters according to the position data of the audio transducers and the distances between the audio transducers in accordance with spatial distance metric. And the renderer controller adapts the rendering according to the clustering. For example, the device can select technical methods for processing arrays for specific subsets containing audio transducers that are close enough to each other.

EFFECT: technical result is to provide high-quality perception of sound due to automatic adaptation to the configurations of audio transducers.
