  • Patent number: 11956624
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for visualizing sound coverage in a venue. An embodiment operates by receiving audio content from an audio source, determining audio signal properties of the audio content, where the audio signal properties comprise one or more spectral, temporal, spatial components (e.g., energy, spectrum or directivity), receiving an audio system configuration of loudspeakers or sound beams of a venue, visualizing the audio signal based on a mapping of an intersection of a unique volumetric beam of colored light, representing the spectral, temporal, spatial components, with a portion of the venue and displaying the visualized audio signal as a virtual representation of sound coverage of the portion of the venue.

  • Publication number: 20240107258
    Abstract: Systems and methods for rendering spatial audio in accordance with embodiments of the invention are illustrated. One embodiment includes a spatial audio system, including a primary network connected speaker, including a plurality of sets of drivers, where each set of drivers is oriented in a different direction, a processor system, memory containing an audio player application, wherein the audio player application configures the processor system to obtain an audio source stream from an audio source via the network interface, spatially encode the audio source, decode the spatially encoded audio source to obtain driver inputs for the individual drivers in the plurality of sets of drivers, where the driver inputs cause the drivers to generate directional audio.

  • Patent number: 11902773
    Abstract: Provided herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing an interactive visual representation of loudspeaker sound coverage in a venue. An embodiment enables temporal, spectral, and spatial audio metering from digital audio to venue acoustics. This technology can visualize audio capabilities of one or more loudspeaker arrays using light to provide visualization grouping of large audio channel outputs. This can allow spatial information to be visually represented by mapping directional sound to light beams.

  • Publication number: 20190019497
    Abstract: Methods and systems for audio content production are provided whereby expressive speech is generated via acoustic elements extracted from human input. One of the inputs to the system is a human designating an intonation to be applied onto text-to-speech (TTS) generated synthetic speech. The human intonation includes the pitch contour and other acoustic features extracted from the speech. The system is designed to be used for, and is capable of speech generation, speech analysis, speech transformation, and speech re-synthesis at the acoustic level.
