Résumé

The implementation of audio spatialization and active acoustic control techniques requires a large number of audio channels and significant computational resources, making these techniques costly and hardly accessible. The use of Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) offers a solution by enabling DSP programming within a centralized system with enough computational power and inputs/outputs to handle all audio streams. However, physically interfacing an embedded system with multiple audio channels is a complex process that poses a significant challenge to system accessibility. In this paper, we present two open-source circuit boards facilitating the interfacing between an FPGA and large multichannel systems, both aiming different kinds of approaches. The first board is designed to be cost-effective and easily reproducible. The second involves more complex manufacturing techniques, but it allows us to fully exploit the performances of the FPGA. Each board provides 32 audio channels and has stacking capabilities, allowing for the interfacing of up to 512 channels on a single FPGA. Their integration into the Syfala compilation flow facilitates the implementation of algorithms without hardware concerns. These interfaces aim to enhance accessibility and affordability when implementing audio spatialization and active acoustic control systems.
