Original Abstract Submitted

One embodiment provides a method of automatic loudspeaker directivity adaptation. The method comprises measuring one or more room impulse responses (RIRs) from one or more loudspeakers to one or more microphones of the one or more loudspeakers, estimating reverberation time and clarity based on the one or more RIRs, and estimating one or more positions of the one or more loudspeakers based on the one or more RIRs. The method further comprises automatically adapting directivity of the one or more loudspeakers based on the reverberation time estimated, the clarity estimated, and the one or more positions estimated.
