A
sound system for capturing and reproducing sounds produced by a plurality of
sound sources. The
system comprises a device for receiving sounds produced by the plurality of
sound sources and converting the separately received sounds to a plurality of separate audio signals without mixing the audio signals. The
system may further comprise a device for separately storing the plurality of separate audio signals on a recording medium without mixing the audio signals and a device for reading the stored audio signals from the recording medium. The
system further includes a
reproduction system for recreating the plurality of separate audio signals. Also, the system comprises an amplification network which comprises a plurality of
amplifier systems, with one or more separate amplifiers in each
amplifier system for separately amplifying each of the separate audio signals. The system also comprises a
loudspeaker network which comprises a plurality of
loudspeaker systems with one or more separate loudspeakers in each
loudspeaker system for separately reproducing the plurality of audio signals. A dynamic controller may be used to control the micro relationships of the components within a
signal path and the
macro relationships among the separate
signal paths. The amplifiers and / or loudspeakers for each
signal path may be customized based on the characteristics and complexities of the original sound to be reproduced on each signal path.
