    摘要: Embodiments are directed to speakers and circuits that reflect sound off a ceiling to a listening location at a distance from a speaker. The reflected sound provides height cues to reproduce audio objects that have overhead audio components. The speaker comprises upward firing drivers to reflect sound off of the upper surface and represents a virtual height speaker. A virtual height filter based on a directional hearing model is applied to the upward-firing driver signal to improve the perception of height for audio signals transmitted by the virtual height speaker to provide optimum reproduction of the overhead reflected sound. The virtual height filter may be incorporated as part of a crossover circuit that separates the full band and sends high frequency sound to the upward-firing driver.

    摘要: There is provided a sound system comprising: a first reflector arranged overhead and to reflect sound into a listening environment, a sound emitting device comprising a sound source and a second reflector, the sound source being configured to direct a sound beam with a first beam angle into the second reflector, the sound emitting device being any of a horn or parabolic loudspeaker. The second reflector is shaped to reflect the sound beam with a second beam angle towards the first reflector, and the first reflector is shaped such as it reflects the sound beam back to the listening environment with a third beam angle. The second beam angle is less than the first beam angle, and the third beam angle is greater than the second beam angle. There is further provided a sound system wherein three of more reflectors are used to reflect sound back down to the listening environment. Additionally, at least one sound absorbing device of a three dimensional shape is positioned in between the overhead reflectors.
