Abstract

There is provided a calibration method for calibrating a variable number of speakers. The method includes determining physical features around a location of each of the variable number of speakers and calibrating at least one of the variable number of speakers.

Claims

1. A calibration method for calibrating a variable number of speakers, the method comprising:

determining physical features around a location of each of the variable number of speakers and calibrating at least one of the variable number of speakers,

wherein the physical features around a location of each of the variable number of speakers are determinable by;

transmitting an instruction signal, the instruction signal being transmittable from a device which is indicative of listener location;

communicating a test signal based on the instruction signal, the test signal being communicable from at least one of the variable number of speakers to the device; and

receiving and processing the test signal by the device in a manner so as to produce calibration signals, and

wherein the calibration signals are communicable from the device to at least one of the variable number of speakers so as to calibrate at least one of the variable number of speakers.
