  • Patent number: 11849290
    Abstract: The present invention provides a signal processing device that allows a user, who adjusts a signal level to match a reference level, to adjust the signal level while checking a degree of difference between the signal level and the reference level. A signal processing device according to the present invention comprises: an input part 20 to which an input signal is input; a storage 40 that stores therein one or more setting values of a parameter to be used for amplifying the input signal and a reference value of the setting value; an amplification part 30 that generates an output signal by amplifying a level of the input signal based on the setting value; an output part 70 that outputs the output signal; an adjustment part 50 that adjusts the setting value; and a display 60 that displays a display result determined based on the setting value adjusted by the adjustment part and the reference value.

  • Patent number: 11812231
    Abstract: A method for determining microphone position is a method for determining positions of a plurality of microphones in a microphone array having the plurality of microphones arranged in a plurality of concentric circles. The method for determining microphone position includes a constraint condition acquiring step of acquiring constraint conditions including the maximum number of the plurality of microphones; and a selecting step of selecting, from among a plurality of combinations of (i) the number of microphones included in each of the plurality of concentric circles and (ii) the radius of each of the plurality of concentric circles, a combination indicating directional characteristics with the smallest difference from a target value of the directional characteristics of the microphone array; where the plurality of combinations satisfy the constraint conditions.

  • Patent number: 11665478
    Abstract: An acoustic diaphragm 1 according to the present invention includes a center dome member, and a sub dome member. The center dome member includes a center dome 2 and an annular first plane part 2a that is disposed along the outer periphery of the center dome and formed integrally with the center dome. The sub dome member includes a sub dome 3 and an annular second plane part 3a that is disposed along the inner periphery of the sub dome and formed integrally with the sub dome. The first plane part includes a rising part 2b of the center dome, a first front surface, and a first back surface. The second plane part includes an inner peripheral edge 3b, a second front surface, and a second back surface. The center dome is formed of a material different from that of the sub dome. The sub dome surrounds the periphery of the center dome. The inner peripheral edge coincides with the rising part. The first front surface is joined to the second back surface.
