Method And Loudspeaker System For Processing An Input Audio Signal - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240323638 titled 'Method And Loudspeaker System For Processing An Input Audio Signal
The invention described in the abstract is a method for processing an input audio signal in an acoustical environment with multiple sound zones. This method involves receiving the input audio signal, processing it using signal processing techniques to generate a processed audio signal, determining the expected loudness in a specific sound zone, and adjusting level-dependent filters based on this determination.
- Receiving an input audio signal
- Processing the input audio signal to generate a processed audio signal
- Determining expected loudness in a specific sound zone
- Acoustically reproducing the processed audio signal in a different sound zone
- Automatically adjusting level-dependent filters based on the determined expected loudness
Potential Applications: - Home audio systems - Theater sound systems - Virtual reality audio experiences
Problems Solved: - Ensuring consistent audio quality across different sound zones - Optimizing audio output based on expected loudness levels
Benefits: - Enhanced audio experience in different areas of an acoustical environment - Improved control over audio processing and reproduction
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Audio Processing System for Multi-Zone Environments" This technology can be used in commercial settings such as theaters, concert halls, and conference rooms to provide high-quality audio experiences tailored to different sound zones.
Prior Art: Prior art related to this technology may include patents or research papers on audio signal processing in multi-zone environments, loudspeaker systems, and acoustical reproduction techniques.
Frequently Updated Research: Researchers may be exploring new algorithms for determining expected loudness levels in different sound zones, as well as innovative approaches to adjusting level-dependent filters in audio processing systems.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does this technology improve the overall audio experience in multi-zone environments? 2. What are the key factors that influence the adjustment of level-dependent filters in audio processing systems?
Original Abstract Submitted
the invention relates to a method for processing an input audio signal to be perceived in an acoustical environment comprising at least a first sound zone and a second sound zone, comprising the steps of receiving an input audio signal, processing said input audio signal using signal processing to generate a processed audio signal, determining an expected loudness in a second sound zone of said acoustical environment, of acoustically reproducing said processed audio signal by a loudspeaker system for a first sound zone of said acoustical environment, wherein said determining an expected loudness is at least with respect to a bass frequency band; and automatically adjusting, on the basis of said determined expected loudness in said second sound zone, one or more level-dependent filters of said processing. the invention further relates to a loudspeaker system for processing an input audio signal to be perceived in an acoustical environment.
