Abstract
News editors obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors:“In traditional home music and video entertainment systems, the content is pre-recorded, mixed and thenplayed back to a user. This takes away the aspect of live sound which is given by the direction the soundtravels. Successful efforts have been made in theaters to engineer speakers that can capture this aspect ofthe experience. However, in home theater systems the issue remains that speakers are fixed to a particularlocation. Improvements can be made to provide the user with a more realistic live sound experience in ahome environment.”
