Conventionally, equalizers are applied when reproducing audio signals in rooms to reduce coloration and effect of room resonances. Another approach, filtering audio signals with an inverse of the room impulse response (RIR), can theoretically eliminate the effect of the room in one point. But practical issues arise such as impaired sound at other positions, a need to update when RIRs change, and loudspeaker-challenging signals. A technique is presented, which modifies the time-frequency envelopes (spectrogram) of audio signals, such that the corresponding spectrogram in the room is more similar to the original signal’s spectrogram, i.e., room effect is attenuated. The proposed technique has low sensitivity on RIR and listener position changes.
