Sound field control involves the generation and manipulation of acoustic fields using electroacoustic transducers [1]. This encompasses spatial audio reproduction [2], zonal sound control [3], active absorption or reflection of sound [4], and active noise control [5]. In all of these technologies either loudspeakers or structural-acoustic actuators are used to produce a sound field with a controlled spatial and temporal distribution. For example, in the context of spatial audio an array of loudspeakers may be driven to reconstruct a pre-defined sound field, such as that experienced in a concert hall during an orchestral performance [6].
