contents Multichannel audio mixer and limiter designs are conventionally decoupled for content reproduction over loudspeaker arrays due to high computational complexity and run-time costs. We propose a coupled mixer-limiter-envelope design formulated as an efficient linear-constrained quadratic program that minimizes a distortion objective over multichannel gain variables subject to sample mixture constraints. Novel methods for asymmetric constant overlap-add window optimization, objective function approximation, variable and constraint reduction are presented. Experiments demonstrate distortion reduction of the coupled design, and computational trade-offs required for efficient real-time processing.
