Publication number: 20240031736Abstract: Transducer steering and configuration systems and methods using a local positioning system are provided. The position and/or orientation of transducers, devices, and/or objects within a physical environment may be utilized to enable steering of lobes and nulls of the transducers, to create self-assembling arrays of the transducers, and to enable monitoring and configuration of the transducers, devices, and objects through an augmented reality interface. The transducers and devices may be more optimally configured which can result in better capture of sound, better reproduction of sound, improved system performance, and increased user satisfaction.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 25, 2023Publication date: January 25, 2024Inventors: Roger Stephen Grinnip, III, Jordan Schultz

Patent number: 11770650Abstract: Endfire linear array microphone systems and methods with consistent directionality and performance at different frequency ranges are provided. The endfire linear array microphone includes a delay and sum beamformer and a differential beamformer. The delay and sum beamformer may produce pickup patterns with good directionality at higher frequency ranges, but cause the pickup patterns to become more omnidirectional at lower frequencies. The differential beamformer may produce pickup patterns with good directionality at lower frequencies. By combining the delay and sum beamformer and differential beamformer within the linear array microphone, the overall directionality of the linear array microphone may be maintained at different frequency ranges while using the same microphone elements.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2022Date of Patent: September 26, 2023Assignee: Shure Acquisition Holdings, Inc.Inventor: Jordan Schultz

Patent number: 11463816Abstract: A microphone assembly is provided, comprising a transducer assembly including a first enclosure defining a first acoustic volume and a Micro-Electrical-Mechanical-System (“MEMS”) microphone transducer disposed within the first enclosure. The microphone assembly also includes a second enclosure disposed adjacent to the first enclosure and defining a second acoustic volume in acoustic communication with the first acoustic volume, the second enclosure including an acoustic resistance, wherein the first and second acoustic volumes, in cooperation with the acoustic resistance, create an acoustic delay for producing a directional polar pattern. Circuitry comprising a shelving filter configured to correct a portion of a frequency response of the MEMS microphone transducer is also provided. In some embodiments, the circuitry is embedded within the transducer assembly or at least included within the microphone assembly.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2020Date of Patent: October 4, 2022Assignee: Shure Acquisition Holdings, Inc.Inventor: Jordan Schultz

Patent number: 11051094Abstract: An acoustical cap that covers a microphone and allows a user to adjust the frequency response of the sound that the microphone receives. The acoustical cap has at least two different inlets that connect to respective cavities. These inlets and their associated cavities form resonators that have different frequency responses. Because the microphone cap has multiple resonators, a user is able to quickly and easily adjust the frequency response of the sound that the microphone receives by adjusting the orientation of the acoustical cap instead of having to carry multiple acoustical caps.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2019Date of Patent: June 29, 2021Assignee: Shore Acquisition Holdings, Inc.Inventor: Jordan Schultz
