Abstract (en)

A noise reducing sound reproduction system and method is disclosed, in which: an input signal is supplied to a loudspeaker by which it is acoustically radiated; the signal radiated by the loudspeaker is received by a microphone that is acoustically coupled to the loudspeaker via a secondary path and that provides a microphone output signal; from the microphone output signal a useful-signal is subtracted to generate a filter input signal; the filter input signal is filtered in an active noise reduction filter to generate an error signal; and the useful-signal is subtracted from the error signal to generate the loudspeaker input signal; and the useful-signal is filtered by one or more spectrum shaping filters prior to subtraction from the microphone output signal or the loudspeaker input signal or both.
