Curving sound field reproduction refers to recreating sound propagating along a curving trajectory without disturbing the other side. This kind of sound could bypass the obstacle to reach the region behind the obstacle, which is difficult for conventional sound field reproduction system. Curving sound field reproduction can find applications in various situations, for example, speech signal could be delivered to a person without disturbing another person in front of him/her. This paper investigates the mechanisms for generating sound field based on the wave equation and the spatial sampling theory and the method of using linear loudspeaker arrays to generate such a sound field. A method based on ray acoustics to determine the loudspeaker weights is proposed and the simulation results are in good agreement with the theory. Extension to wideband situation of the method is also investigated and proved to be effective in a broad range of frequencies covering the human speech signal spectrum from 300 Hz to 3400 Hz.
