Original Abstract Submitted
example techniques involve outputting multiple audio channels using a multiple driver playback device. an example playback device receives a first and second channel of audio content. the playback device plays back play back the first channel via a first group of audio transducers such that the first group of audio transducers form, via superposition, a first response lobe having a maximum in a first direction. further, the playback device plays back the second channel via a second group of audio transducers such that the second group of audio transducers form, via superposition, a second response lobe having a maximum in a second direction that is separated by an angle of at least 45� from the first direction.
