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 20240048908 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 that is connected to the primary assembly and receives an audio signal from it. The primary assembly also includes an interconnection verification circuit and a controller. The controller receives a status signal from the interconnection verification circuit and is equipped with 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 loudspeaker assembly.
- If the interconnection test signal confirms a 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 in concert venues, theaters, and stadiums.
- Home theater systems for improved audio distribution.
- Public address systems in large spaces like airports or convention centers.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Ensures proper connection between primary and secondary loudspeaker assemblies, preventing audio signal loss or distortion.
- Allows for efficient power distribution between loudspeaker assemblies, optimizing sound quality and performance.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved audio quality and coverage in multi-speaker setups.
- Simplified setup and installation process for interconnected loudspeaker assemblies.
- Enhanced reliability and fault detection capabilities.
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.
