DEVICE FOR PROCESSING AN AUDIO SIGNAL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240221710 titled 'DEVICE FOR PROCESSING AN AUDIO SIGNAL
The abstract describes a device for processing an audio signal, including various stages of conversion and equalization to ultimately generate an analog output signal.
- Acquisition interface captures the initial analog input signal from an audio source.
- Analog-to-digital conversion is performed on the input signal to produce a digital signal.
- Digital equalization is carried out on the digital signal based on input parameters to create a modified digital signal.
- Analog processing stage utilizes non-linear operating ranges to process the modified signal and generate an analog output.
- Additional digital equalization is performed on the analog output signal for further refinement.
Potential Applications: - Audio processing equipment - Sound engineering tools - Music production technology
Problems Solved: - Enhancing audio quality - Customizing sound output - Improving signal processing efficiency
Benefits: - High-quality audio output - Customizable equalization settings - Efficient signal processing
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Audio Signal Processing Device for Professional Sound Engineering This technology can be used in professional recording studios, live sound setups, and audio production facilities to enhance the quality and customization of audio signals.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the non-linear operating range in the analog processing stage impact the audio signal? The non-linear operating range in the analog processing stage allows for more nuanced and dynamic signal processing, resulting in a richer and more detailed audio output.
2. What are the key advantages of performing digital equalization on the analog output signal? Performing digital equalization on the analog output signal allows for precise adjustments to the audio characteristics, leading to a tailored and optimized sound output.
Original Abstract Submitted
a device for processing an audio signal, includes an acquisition interface of a first analog input signal from an audio source; a first analog-to-digital converter of the first analog input signal to produce a second digital signal; at least one first digital component to perform a first digital equalization of the second digital signal, the first digital equalization being configurable according to first input parameters to produce a third digital signal, a first digital-to-analog converter of the third digital signal to generate a fourth analog signal; an analog processing stage including at least one electronic component having at least one predefined non-linear operating range, the stage being configured to process the fourth analog signal in at least a part of the non-linear operating range in order to generate a fifth analog signal; a second analog-to-digital converter and at least one second digital component to perform a second digital equalization.
