IPC Code(s): H04R5/02, H04R5/033, H04R5/04
CPC Code(s): H04R5/02
Abstract: a training audio track feature vector is generated for training audio tracks. the training audio track feature vector includes training track vector components based on one or more feature sets. each of the training track vector components is grouped into at least one cluster. audio filters are mapped to one or more of the clusters, thereby building a feature-filter mapping function. mapping functions from filters to audio output devices and/or physical space acoustic features can also be built. a media playback device receives the mapping function(s) and is enabled to apply the mapping function(s) to a query audio track feature vector to identify at least one audio filter corresponding to the query audio track. the media playback device can then apply the at least one audio filter to the query audio track.
