  • Publication number: 20240089684
    Abstract: Various arrangements for reducing auditory spatial aliasing for a user are detailed herein. A first delay filter may be set that delays output of a first same audio signal by a first duration to a speaker of a first set of multiple speakers of a device compared to a second speaker of the first set of multiple speakers. A second delay filter may also be set that delays output of a second same audio signal by a second duration to a speaker of a second set of multiple speakers of the device compared to a second speaker of the second set of multiple speakers. The first same audio signal can be output using the first set of multiple speakers and the second same audio signal can be output using the second set of multiple speakers.

  • Patent number: 10666217
    Abstract: A method for dynamic equalization is performed at a system. The system receives an electronic audio signal. The system monitors available headroom based on two or more of: an amplifier of the system, a change in volume of the system, characteristics of a transducer of a loudspeaker associated with the system, and the audio signal. Responsive to a change in the available headroom, the system modifies one or more parameters of an equalizer to at least a portion of the signal in order to extend a physical low-frequency response of the loudspeaker, the one or more parameters comprising a gain for the and a frequency.

  • Patent number: 10200003
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods to dynamically extend loudspeaker capabilities. In particular, a system comprising a loudspeaker can receive an electronic audio signal. Responsive to a change in available headroom, one or more parameters of an equalizer being applied to at least a portion of the signal in order to extend a physical low-frequency response of the loudspeaker can be modified based on the change in available headroom. Additionally or alternatively, responsive to the change in available headroom, a bandwidth of low-frequency content of the signal that is being synthesized by the system to extend low-frequency capability of the system beyond physical capabilities of the system can be adjusted based on the change in available headroom.
