Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2020074553A1] Acoustic system (1) for diffusing sound from <u>N</u> channels (Si) comprising audio frequencies, <u>N</u> being greater than or equal to two, the acoustic system comprising a frame (5), <u>M</u> loudspeakers (HPj) which are similar to each other and mounted on the frame (5), and a processing unit (20) designed to send <u>M</u> loudspeaker signals (SS,) to the loudspeakers, respectively. The loudspeakers are arranged at an angle about an axis (Z), two consecutive loudspeakers forming an angle (a) substantially equal to 360° divided by <u>M</u>. The processing unit (20) comprises a splitter (28) configured to produce the loudspeaker signals (SSj), each loudspeaker signal comprising the same shared bass component (SSLF), in which audio frequencies that are higher than a first predetermined frequency (f1) are non-existent or reduced, at least two of the loudspeaker signals further comprising a specific component (SSj MF) in addition to the shared bass component. In said specific component, audio frequencies lower than the first frequency are non-existent or reduced, each specific component being obtained from at least one of the channels, and at least two of the specific components being different from each other.
