  • Apparatus and method for pulsating lights in response to an audio signal
    Patent number: 6448719
    Abstract: An acoustical control apparatus for regulating voltage flow in response to an audio signal. The apparatus includes a power supply, a level control network, a multiple active filter network, a phase control network, a comparator network and output control network. The apparatus separates the audio signal into distinct frequency bandwidths and regulates the intensity of voltage flow from and in synchronization with the power supply. The distinct bandwidths and intensity control of the voltage feed triac drivers to allow pulsating voltage to flow to a plurality of lighting circuits. The lighting circuits pulsate to the beat of the audio signal.
