Abstract:
This letter introduces a database of Room Impulse Responses (RIRs) measured in seven different rooms for multizone sound field reproduction research in various acoustic environments. A circular array of 60 loudspeakers was installed in each room, with two microphone arrays placed sequentially in five different zones inside the loudspeaker array. A total of 260 400 RIRs were measured to establish the database. As a demonstration application of the database for multizone sound field reproduction, simulations were performed on the pressure matching and acoustic contrast control methods to investigate how a system optimized with the RIRs measured in one room would perform in other rooms.
