Abstract
The characteristics and implementation of a complete software bundle consisting of a room acoustics measurement tool, an application for the calculation of the room correction filters and a plugin for real time audio filtering is described. Via this plug-in a non-experienced user should be able to follow the documentation, measure the impulse response of his listening room, calculate the appropriate stereo inverse filters and utilize them in order to equalize the audio input in real time. The proposed room equalization solution was evaluated in terms of subjective and objective performance.
