Abstract(in English) We investigated a local area sound reproduction system where the listener can hear the sound only in the proximity of the loudspeaker. In this paper, we used the circular loudspeaker array with null-space based sound field control (NBSFC) to create a local area sound reproduction system based on the boundary surface control principle. The performance of the prototype system of the circular loudspeaker array was evaluated in an anechoic chamber. As a result, the prototype system exhibited a quicker sound attenuation than the monopole sound source in the frequency range of 500-1500 Hz. In addition, we compared the filter coefficients of the loudspeaker array of the NBSFC method with those of the evanescent wave method. In the NBSFC method, the filters on both side of the filter that has a positive phase have opposite phases and half amplitudes. On the other hand, in the evanescent wave method, the filters alternately exhibit a plus or minus sign while having the same amplitude. In both cases, the sounds radiated from the loudspeakers may instantaneously cancel each other by opposite phases to achieve a quicker sound attenuation.
