Method and apparatus to compensate a phase of a subwoofer channel signal

摘要

A method and an apparatus to adjust a phase of a subwoofer channel signal in order to compensate for a phase difference generated at a crossover point between a subwoofer response and a main speaker response. The method includes: measuring a first response characteristic of a signal output from the subwoofer, a second response characteristic of a signal output from the main speaker, and a third response characteristic of a test signal simultaneously output from the subwoofer and the main speaker, detecting a phase difference between the subwoofer and the main speaker according to a difference value between the first, second, and third response characteristics at a crossover frequency, calculating a delay value of the subwoofer according to the detected phase difference, and compensating for the detected phase difference at the crossover point between the subwoofer and the main speaker using the calculated delay value of the subwoofer.
