Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Left and right stereo channels L and R are provided to a first set of two or more speakers of a speaker array. A bass signal B is applied to a second set of one or more speakers of the speaker array. The level of L and R applied to the first set of speakers is increased as the first set of speakers is rotated to become more horizontally aligned. The level of B applied to the first set of speakers is decreased as the first set of speakers is rotated to become more horizontally aligned.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A device comprising: a speaker array comprising three or more speakers configured to produce stereo sound based on left and right stereo signal channels L and R, respectively; logic to derive a low frequency bass signal, B from L and R; logic to increase a level of signal B and decrease a level of L or R output by a first speaker of the speaker array as the first speaker is rotated through 90 degrees by way of a rotation of the device between a first and…
