Abstract

The present invention discloses a method and device for controlling speaker array sound field based on a quadratic residue sequence combination. The method comprises steps of: (1) fragmenting a designated quadratic residue sequence in terms of the number of array elements, to generate a plurality of quadratic residue subsequences; (2) designing an optimal array phase delay vector utilizing these subsequences; (3) controlling transmission signals of multi-element channels according to the optimal phase delay vector to adjust phase delay; (4) sending the multi-channel signals subjected to adjustment to a multi-channel power amplifier, to drive the speaker array to generate uniform sound field. The device comprises a sound source, an optimal phase delay estimator, an optimal phase delay controller, a multi-channel power amplifier and a speaker array. The invention can expand the coverage range of sound field radiated from an array and improve uniformity of the sound field. Furthermore, according to the invention, the hardware implementation of the control method of sound field is simple, and the spatial distribution characteristics of sound field meet the requirements of array sound r…
