Study on Loudspeaker Equalization with the Linear Prediction

Linear prediction code (LPC) has been applied not only on speech processing but also loudspeaker equalization. There are shortcomings processing low frequency and overcome by warped frequency. A loudspeaker system has been equalized by LPC and warped-frequency linear prediction (WLPC), three conclusions have been drawn. First, LPC has higher frequency resolution and lower effective frequency with more orders. Secondly, WLPC processes low frequency better than LPC with the same order, and it has some better equalized results with more orders. Thirdly, both methods maybe determine incorrectly the “peak and valley” if orders are not enough and lose optimum equalized results.
