Abstract

Sound zone control enables different users to enjoy different audio
contents in the same acoustic environment. Generalized eigenvalue
decomposition (GEVD)-based methods allow us to control the tradeoff between the acoustic contrast (AC) and signal distortion (SD).
However, such methods have a high computational complexity. In
this paper, we propose a fast reduced-rank sound zone control algorithm using the conjugate gradient (CG) method. Instead of using the
eigenvectors as the basis for the solution space, the search directions
in the CG method are used to reduce the computational complexity.
Then, a low dimensional EVD is applied to obtain the sub-optimal
control filter coefficients. The dark zone power can be adjusted by
a parameter, which implicitly controls the trade-off between the AC
and SD. Compared with GEVD-based methods, experimental results
show that the proposed algorithm has a degradation of performance
(4–5 dB) in terms of AC or SD but a high improvement on computational efficiency.
