Speaker Device And Filter Coefficient Generating Device Therefor
First Claim
1. A speaker device comprising:
- a line array speaker that includes a plurality of speakers arranged on a same plane at predetermined intervals;
a plurality of FIR filters that correspond to said speakers and each delay a common digital sound signal; and
a plurality of D/A converters that each convert said delayed digital sound signal to an analog sound signal, whereinsaid FIR filters delay said digital sound signal so as to increase a ratio of a delay time difference to the arrangement interval between adjacent speakers toward one end of said line array speaker.

Abstract
To provide a speaker device that can form a substantially uniform sound field over a range from a long distance to a short distance without significantly increasing a calculation load. A plurality of FIR filters 21 to 2n perform delay control of respective speakers so as to increase a delay time difference between adjacent speakers 51 to 5n in a line array speaker 5 toward one end of the line array speaker 5, and thereby over a wide range from a long distance to a short distance, a sound filed 12 is formed. Also, by adding a common shift delay time Dc to filter coefficients for the FIR filters 21 to 2n, the delay time difference between adjacent speakers 51 to 5n is made less than a sampling period of a sound signal to form a wide and uniform sound field 12.

7. A filter coefficient generating device for a speaker device that,
to a speaker device comprising: -
a line array speaker that includes a plurality of speakers arranged on a same plane at predetermined intervals; a plurality of FIR filters that correspond to said speakers and each delay a common digital sound signal; a plurality of D/A converters that each convert said delayed digital sound signal to an analog sound signal; and filter coefficient storage means adapted to rewritably hold filter coefficients for said FIR filters, supplies the filter coefficients for said FIR filters, the filter coefficient generating device comprising; frequency characteristics determination means adapted to, on a basis of user operation, determine frequency characteristics of each of said FIR filters; filter coefficient calculation means adapted to perform an inverse Fourier transform of said frequency characteristics to obtain each of the filter coefficients for said FIR filters, and generates the filter coefficients for said FIR filters such that a minimum value among delay time differences between adjacent speakers becomes less than a sampling period of said digital sound signal; and
delay shift means adapted to add a common shift delay time to each of said filter coefficients.
