A multichannel compensating audio
system includes first and second compensation channels to psychoacoustically minimize deviations in a
target response, to psychoacoustically move the physical position of a speaker and / or to psychoacoustically provide a substantially equal magnitude of sound from a plurality of speakers in a plurality of different listening positions. The first compensation channel may include a series connected
delay circuit, a level adjuster circuit and a frequency
equalizer circuit that generates a first compensated
audio signal from a first
audio signal. The second compensation channel may include a series connected
delay circuit, a level adjuster circuit and a frequency
equalizer circuit that generates a second compensated
audio signal from a second audio
signal. A first summing circuit is configured to receive at least the first audio
signal and the second compensated audio
signal and generate a first output signal for provision to a first speaker. A second summing circuit is configured to receive the second audio signal and the first compensated audio signal and generate a second output signal for provision to a second speaker. The first and second output signals may be output by the first and second speakers into a listening space and are acoustically perceived by a listener.
