Abstract

As part of the bigger EU project MONICA (Horizon2020) a local quiet zone system is being developed. This system provides a zone of quiet close to loud outdoor concerts in order to support communications or minimize the noise exposure of staff. Because the noise sources are the loudspeakers of the venue’s PA system an ideal reference signal can be obtained from the sound engineer’s mixing console, which can be used to apply methods of feedforward active noise control. This paper presents a real time application of the multichannel filtered reference least mean square algorithm (MCFxLMS), shows how it has been designed, implemented and tested under laboratory conditions.
