APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR GENERATING CONTROL SIGNALS FOR A LOUDSPEAKER SYSTEM WITH SPECTRAL INTERLACING IN THE LOWER FREQUENCY RANGE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240236612 titled 'APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR GENERATING CONTROL SIGNALS FOR A LOUDSPEAKER SYSTEM WITH SPECTRAL INTERLACING IN THE LOWER FREQUENCY RANGE

The patent application describes an apparatus for generating control signals for a loudspeaker system with two sound generators, each receiving a channel signal from a multi-channel audio source.

  • The apparatus includes inputs for the first and second channel signals, as well as outputs for control signals for each sound generator.
  • It features a base differential mode signal generator to create a base signal from the two channel signals, and a differential mode signal generator to generate phase-shifted differential mode signals.
  • A mixer is used to combine a common mode signal with the first differential mode signal.

Potential Applications: - Home theater systems - Professional audio equipment - Automotive audio systems

Problems Solved: - Efficiently controlling multiple sound generators in a loudspeaker system - Enhancing sound quality and spatial effects in multi-channel audio setups

Benefits: - Improved audio performance - Enhanced spatial sound reproduction - Precise control over individual sound generators

Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Control System for Multi-Channel Speaker Setups This technology can be used in high-end audio systems for home entertainment, professional audio setups in studios, and premium automotive sound systems. The precise control and enhanced sound quality provided by this apparatus can attract audiophiles and audio professionals looking for top-tier audio solutions.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this apparatus improve the audio experience in multi-channel speaker systems?

  - This apparatus enhances the spatial sound reproduction and allows for precise control over individual sound generators, resulting in a more immersive audio experience.

2. What sets this control system apart from traditional methods of controlling sound generators in loudspeaker systems?

  - This system utilizes differential mode signals and a mixer to achieve more accurate and efficient control over the sound generators, leading to improved audio performance.


Original Abstract Submitted

an apparatus for generating control signals for a loudspeaker system with two sound generators including a first input for a first channel signal of a multi-channel audio signal; a second input for a second channel signal of the multi-channel audio signal; a first output for a first control signal for a first sound generator; a second output for a second control signal for a second sound generator; a base differential mode signal generator for forming a base differential mode signal from the first channel signal and the second channel signal at the second input; a differential mode signal generator for generating a first differential mode signal and a second differential mode signal from the base differential mode signal, wherein the first differential mode signal is phase-shifted with respect to the second differential mode signal; and a mixer for mixing a common mode signal with the first differential mode signal.
