Abstract

See full text

A vehicle audio system includes at least two loudspeakers incorporated into a headrest of a vehicle. Protective caps are provided for the loudspeakers at the headrest above each of the two loudspeakers and extend at least partially in a direction in which sound is emitted from the loudspeakers. An audio signal processor receives an audio input signal and is configured for generating audio output signals for the two loudspeakers such that the audio output signals are perceived by a user sitting on a seat on which the headrest is provided as a virtual soundfield. A database includes cap compensating information that compensates for an influence by the protective caps on the audio output signals emitted by the two loudspeakers. The audio signal processor is further configured for generating the virtual soundfield for said user taking into account the cap compensating information.
