1. A set-up method for a surround sound loudspeaker system capable of generating at least one directed beam of audio sound, the surround sound loudspeaker system being in a room and comprising an array of electro-acoustic transducers, the room comprising a listening position, the method comprising:
- emitting directional beams of set-up sound signals from the array of electro-acoustic transducers into the room;
registering at least one reflection of the emitted beams at one or more locations within the room; and
evaluating the registered reflections to obtain data for use in configuring the surround sound loudspeaker system.

Abstract
An example set-up method for a loudspeaker system capable of generating at least one directed beam of audio sound includes emitting directional beams of set-up sound signals from the loudspeaker system into a room, registering at least one reflection of the emitted signals at one or more locations within the room, and evaluating the registered reflected signals to obtain data for use in configuring the surround sound system.

44. A surround sound system for a room comprising:
-
an array of electro-acoustic transducers configured to emit directional beams of sound signals; controller electronics configured to control the array of electro-acoustic transducers to emit directional beams of set-up sound signals in different directions; and a detector configured to detect reflections of the set-up sound beams at one or more locations within the room, wherein the controller electronics is further configured to generate, based at least in part on the detected reflections, surround sound system configuration data usable in steering directional beams for surround sound channels. - View Dependent Claims (45, 46)
