Method and apparatus for audio signal equalization

Last updated:

Abstract:

A device to perform audio signal equalization includes one or more processors configured to receive impulse response data corresponding to multiple audio channels. Each audio channel is associated with a corresponding microphone of multiple microphones of an audio device and indicative of sound propagation from one or more speakers of the audio device to the corresponding microphone. The one or more processors are configured to generate equalization filter data that is based on the impulse response data and that is indicative of multiple equalization filters. Each of the equalization filters is associated with a corresponding audio channel of the multiple audio channels. The one or more processors are also configured to process the equalization filter data to determine a playback equalization filter to be applied to an audio playback signal prior to playout at the one or more speakers.
