Soundfield control using loudspeaker array by Li, Renshi

“…Several methodologies have recently been proposed to achieve a desired soundfield within a listening zone of interest. These methods include maximizing the energy ratio between energies of audible and inaudible zones, maximizing energy difference between two zones and maximizing the energy ratio while maintaining a desired sound energy level in the zone of interest. …”
