Abstract

Previous research have done on the quiet zones created by multiple control sources and error microphones. But the size of the quiet zones are restricted by calculating ability of DSP as the number of control source increase greatly when a big quiet zone is needed in practice. In this paper a new control strategy is presented using a directional array of loudspeakers as a control unit to create a specific quiet zone. When different units work together, a big quiet zone can be created. Using directional array can greatly decrease the unwanted interference between units, and when the arrangement is optimized, the largest area of quiet zone can be created with the least increase of total power output.
