MULTI-MODAL AUDIO AMPLIFIER AND RELATED SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240322764 titled 'MULTI-MODAL AUDIO AMPLIFIER AND RELATED SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes an audio amplifier that can drive at least one speaker and operate in different modes using a controller and interface switch.

  • The amplifier can amplify input signals to produce an amplified audio output signal.
  • It can operate in a first mode with a dedicated connection to the speaker and a second mode with a direct physical connection to an additional audio amplifier.
  • The interface switch allows for switching between the first and second modes, with the controller maintaining the selected mode until a command is received.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Dual-mode operation for the amplifier.
  • Interface switch for mode selection.
  • Ability to connect with additional audio amplifiers.

Potential Applications:

  • Home audio systems.
  • Car audio systems.
  • Public address systems.

Problems Solved:

  • Providing flexibility in amplifier connections.
  • Enhancing audio output options.

Benefits:

  • Versatile audio amplifier operation.
  • Improved audio output customization.

Commercial Applications: The technology can be used in various audio systems, enhancing their functionality and connectivity options.

Questions about Audio Amplifiers: 1. How does the dual-mode operation of this amplifier benefit users? 2. What are the potential drawbacks of having a dedicated connection to the speaker in the first mode?


Original Abstract Submitted

various aspects include audio amplifiers for driving at least one speaker. in some cases, the amplifier includes: a controller for amplifying at least one input signal to provide an amplified audio output signal, the controller configured to operate the amplifier in at least two modes, including: a first mode including a dedicated connection to the at least one speaker; and a second mode including a direct physical connection with an additional audio amplifier and the dedicated connection to the at least one speaker; and an interface switch coupled with the controller that enables a change between the first mode and the second mode, wherein the controller maintains the selection of the first mode or the second mode until a command is received via the interface switch.
