SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE DISTRIBUTION OF POWER BETWEEN ACTIVE LOUDSPEAKER ASSEMBLIES AND PASSIVE LOUDSPEAKER ASSEMBLIES IN AN AUDIO DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240040312 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE DISTRIBUTION OF POWER BETWEEN ACTIVE LOUDSPEAKER ASSEMBLIES AND PASSIVE LOUDSPEAKER ASSEMBLIES IN AN AUDIO DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a system and method for adjusting power levels between interconnected loudspeaker assemblies. The system includes a primary loudspeaker assembly and at least one secondary loudspeaker assembly connected to the primary assembly. An interconnection verification circuit is located in the primary assembly, and a controller is also located in the primary assembly. The controller receives a status signal from the interconnection verification circuit and includes a processor and memory.

  • The interconnection verification circuit generates an interconnection test signal to determine if the primary loudspeaker assembly is properly connected to the secondary assembly.
  • If the interconnection test signal confirms proper connection, a connected status signal is generated.
  • The controller receives the connected status signal and generates a first set of command signals to split power between the primary and secondary loudspeaker assemblies.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Professional audio systems: This technology can be used in concert venues, theaters, and other professional audio settings to ensure proper power distribution between loudspeaker assemblies.
  • Home theater systems: The system can be implemented in home theater setups to optimize audio performance and ensure balanced power distribution.
  • Public address systems: This technology can be utilized in public address systems to maintain consistent sound quality and power distribution across multiple loudspeaker assemblies.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Power level adjustment: The system solves the problem of adjusting power levels between interconnected loudspeaker assemblies, ensuring proper distribution and preventing overload or underutilization.
  • Interconnection verification: The interconnection test signal helps identify if the primary and secondary loudspeaker assemblies are properly connected, avoiding potential issues with audio output.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved audio performance: By adjusting power levels between loudspeaker assemblies, this technology helps optimize audio quality and ensures consistent sound output.
  • Protection against overload: The system prevents overload by monitoring the interconnection status and adjusting power distribution accordingly.
  • Ease of installation: The interconnection verification circuit simplifies the installation process by providing a test signal to confirm proper connection between loudspeaker assemblies.


Original Abstract Submitted

a system and method to adjust power levels between interconnected loudspeaker assemblies is described herein, the system comprising: a primary loudspeaker assembly, and at least one secondary loudspeaker assembly interconnected with the primary loudspeaker assembly and adapted to receive an audio signal from the primary loudspeaker assembly; an interconnection verification circuit located in the primary loudspeaker assembly; and a controller located in the primary loudspeaker assembly adapted to receive the status signal from the interconnection verification circuit, wherein the controller comprises—at least one processor communicatively coupled to the interconnection verification circuit; a memory operatively connected to the at least one processor, wherein the memory stores computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to execute a method that comprises: generating an interconnection test signal by the interconnection verification circuit, wherein the interconnection test signal determines if the primary loudspeaker assembly is properly connected to the at least one secondary loudspeaker assembly; generating a connected status signal if the interconnection test signal determines that the primary loudspeaker assembly is properly connected to the at least one secondary loudspeaker assembly; receiving the connected status signal by the controller located in the primary loudspeaker assembly; and generating a first set of command signals by the controller to split power between the primary loudspeaker assembly and the at least one secondary loudspeaker assembly.
