(54) Multipoint adaptive equalization control method and multipoint adaptive equalization control system


(57) Provided are a multipoint adaptive equalization control method and system for performing adaptive equalization control on sound detected at a plurality of control points in a car cabin. An inverse phase characteristic opposite to a phase characteristic from a speaker to a main control point is applied to an audio signal output from an audio source. Error signals respectively indicating the differences between detection signals, corresponding to a detected sound signal output from the speaker, in the respective control points and target signals for the control points are output. A gain of an audio signal is determined by performing adaptive signal processing so that the sum of powers of the input error signals is minimized. The inverse phase characteristic and the gain are applied to an audio signal and the resultant audio signal is supplied to the speaker.
