Abstract
A personal audio system that does not use earphone or any wire would have great interest and potential impact on the audio industries. In this study, a line array speaker system is used to localize sound in the listening zone. The contrast control [Choi, J.-W. and Kim, Y.-H. (2002). J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 111, 1695-1700] is applied, which is a method to make acoustically bright zone around the user and acoustically dark zone in other regions by maximizing the ratio of acoustic potential energy density between the bright and the dark zone. This ratio is regarded as acoustic contrast, analogous with what is used for optical devices. For the evaluation of the performance of acoustic contrast control, experiments are performed and the results are compared with those of uncontrolled case and time reversal array.
