Audio examples for the paper "Closed-Loop Differentiable Optimisation for Active Acoustics". Please view this on GitHub pages.

Task 1: Colouration Reduction (open- vs closed-loop)

Power spectrograms from one test position in the Room 1 16 × 16 AAES comparing the unequalised condition (a) to the open- (b) and closed-loop (c) results.

Task 2 - Late Reverberation Matching (closed-loop)

Power spectrograms of (a) the passive RIR of Room 1, (b) the target RIR, and (c) the optimised Room 1 16 × 16 AAES. Dashed white lines indicate the −30 dB profile with half-octave-band resolution.

*To provide more comparable early energy, the impulse responses of these examples were constructed by crossfading from the target to the optimised result (between 50 and 100 ms relative to the direct impulse).
