MultiBeam™ : A New Solution for the Surround Sound Experience
Introduction Today, soundbars are the mainstream consumer choice for home theater, but still cannot recreate the benefits of a traditional multi-channel surround sound system. This white paper gives a brief introduction of Harman’s solution, known as MultiBeam, followed by an explanation of how the MultiBeam technology applies to the Harman Kardon Enchant soundbar series.
Rise of Soundbars As display technology has rapidly improved (LCD, LED, OLED), consumers expect to see more jumbo-sized flat-panel TVs becoming thinner and thinner, enhancing high-definition display performance, offering more content source options, and integrating with sophisticated voice assistants. As TV’s have improved in feature set and video quality, the built-in sound quality has worsened. However, consumers still desire more realistic and natural surround sound effects when watching movies.
Fig.2 Application: Harman Kardon Enchant Soundbars The brand-new Harman Kardon Enchant soundbars are the first use of MultiBeam. Each soundbar features angled low-frequency front-firing woofers, two side-firing horn tweeters in a sealed baffle integrated in both left and right ends of the same cabinet. Benefiting from such an architecture, the soundbar speaker can accurately reproduce the surround sound effect as it should perform.
Fig.4 Fig.4 Enchant 800: 6 woofers (2 left woofers + 2 right woofers + 2 center woofers that can be reused for either left or right channels) and 2 horn tweeters (left + right) The characteristics of the room, especially of sidewalls, determines the resulting sound field. To fulfill the MultiBeam concept, sidewall reflection or mirroring takes a big role in the process; on the contrary, the direct sound holds a low proportion in the listening area.
Fig.6 illustrates the difference between the traditional calibration methods and AMC. Traditional Room Correction Automatic MultiBeam Calibration Audio Device Room Correction System Listening Location (Sweet Spot) Listening Location (Sweet Spot) Fig.6 Although the microphone is not at the listening location (sweet spot), AMC can still collect acoustical information to correct the conditions of the room environment.
