Abstract:
A system and method for speech reinforcement may determine the spatial location of an audio source and the spatial location of a listener. An audio signal generated by the audio source may be captured. The spatial location, relative to the listener, of two or more audio transducers that emit a reinforcing audio signal to reinforce the audio signal may be determined. The captured audio signal, responsive to the spatial location of the audio source, the spatial location of the listener and the spatial location of the two or more audio transducers to generate the reinforcing audio signal, such that, when emitted by the two of more audio transducers, the listener perceives a source of the reinforcing audio signal to be spatially located in substantially the spatial location of the audio source thereby reinforcing the audio signal.
