  • Adaptive proportional gain audio mixing system
    Patent number: 5414776
    Abstract: An improved audio mixing system that does not instantaneously switch a microphone from the attenuated level to the unattenuated level in response to level changes on the microphone is disclosed. The system is not limited to one type of microphone and does not depend on separate sensing microphones to determine the background noise level. In addition, the active signal is not amplitude modulated by extraneous noise inputted through inactive microphones.
    Type: Grant

  • Adaptive proportional gain audio mixing system
    Patent number: 5402500
    Abstract: An improved audio mixing system. The system is not limited to one type of microphone and does not depend on separate sensing microphones to determine the background noise level. In addition, the active signal is not amplitude modulated by extraneous noise inputted through inactive microphones. The mixing system divides the system gain between a plurality of input channels. The mixing system periodically samples the channels and determines which channel is the dominant channel. In response to this determination, the gain of the dominant channel is increased and that of the other channels decreased.
