Patent number: 11990881Abstract: An example method of operation may include identifying speakers and microphones connected to a network controlled by a controller, assigning a preliminary output gain to the speakers used to apply test signals, measuring ambient noise detected from the microphones, recording chirp responses from all microphones simultaneously based on the test signals, deconvolving all chirp responses to determine a corresponding number of impulse responses, and measuring average sound pressure levels (SPLs) of each of the microphones to obtain a SPL level based on an average of the SPLs.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2023Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: Biamp Systems, LLCInventors: Eugene Goff, Ray Dippert, Matthew V. Kotvis, Samarth Behura

Publication number: 20240014792Abstract: An example method of operation may include determining a frequency response to a measured chirp signal detected from one or more speakers, determining an average value of the frequency response based on a high limit value and a low limit value, subtracting a measured response from a target response, and the target response is based on one or more filter frequencies; determining a frequency limited target filter with audible parameters based on the subtraction, and applying an infinite impulse response (IIR) biquad filter based on an area defined by the frequency limited target filter to equalize the frequency response of the one or more speakers.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2023Publication date: January 11, 2024Applicant: Biamp Systems, LLCInventors: Eugene Goff, Ray Dippert, Matthew V. Kotvis, Samarth Behura

Publication number: 20230370037Abstract: An example method of operation may include identifying, in a particular room environment, a number of speakers and one or more microphones on a network controlled by a controller and amplifier, providing test signals to play sequentially from each amplifier channel of the amplifier and the speakers, monitoring the test signals from the one or more microphones simultaneously to detect operational speakers and amplifier channels, providing additional test signals to the speakers to determine tuning parameters, detecting the additional test signals at the one or more microphones controlled by the controller, and automatically establishing a background noise level and noise spectrum of the room environment based on the detected additional test signals.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 25, 2023Publication date: November 16, 2023Applicant: Biamp Systems, LLCInventors: Eugene Goff, Ray Dippert, Matthew V. Kotvis, Samarth Behura

Publication number: 20230361739Abstract: An example method of operation may include applying a set of initial power and gain parameters for a speaker, playing a stimulus signal via the speaker, determining a sound level at a microphone location and a sound level at a predefined distance from the speakers, determining a gain at the microphone location based on a difference of the sound level at the microphone location and the sound level at the predefined distance from the speaker, and applying the gain to the speaker output.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 18, 2023Publication date: November 9, 2023Applicant: Biamp Systems, LLCInventors: Eugene Goff, Ray Dippert, Matthew V.
