Patent attributes
In at least one embodiment, a system for providing an adaptive loudspeaker assembly is provided. A loudspeaker array transmits an audio output signal in an omnidirectional sound mode in a room having a plurality of walls. A microphone array is coupled to the loudspeaker array to capture the audio output signal in the room. At least one controller is programmed to receive the captured audio output signal and to determine that at least one first wall of the plurality of walls is closest to the loudspeaker array based on the captured audio output signal. The at least one controller is further programmed to change a sound mode of the loudspeaker array from transmitting the audio output signal in the omnidirectional mode into a beamforming sound mode to transmit the audio output signal away from the at least one first wall of the plurality walls.
