  • Patent number: 9264004
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods and systems for narrow bandwidth digital processing of an input audio signal. Particularly, the present invention includes a high pass filter configured to filter the input audio signal. A first compressor then modulates the filtered signal in order to create a partially processed signal. In some embodiments, a clipping module further limits the gain of the partially processed signal. A splitter is configured to split the partially processed signal into a first signal and a second signal. A low pass filter is configured to filter the first signal. A pass through module is configured to adjust the gain of the second signal. A mixer then combines the filtered first signal and the gain-adjusted second signal in order to output a combined signal. In some embodiments, a tone control module further processes the combined signal, and a second compressor further modulates the processed signal.

  • Patent number: 8284955
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods and systems for digitally processing audio signals. Some embodiments receive an audio signal and converting it to a digital signal. The gain of the digital signal may be adjusted a first time, using a digital processing device located between a receiver and a driver circuit. The adjusted signal can be filtered with a first low shelf filter. The systems and methods may compress the filtered signal with a first compressor, process the signal with a graphic equalizer, and compress the processed signal with a second compressor. The gain of the compressed signal can be adjusted a second time. These may be done using the digital processing device. The signal may then be output through an amplifier and driver circuit to drive a personal audio listening device. In some embodiments, the systems and methods described herein may be part of the personal audio listening device.

  • Publication number: 20090296959
    Abstract: According to various embodiments, an audio system having high quality sound and a high frequency response is provided. The audio system comprises one or more speakers with mismatched components. Although the combination of mismatched components may result in a diminished frequency response, digital signal processing may compensate for the physical deficiencies of a driver of the speaker. In some embodiments, an audio system comprises a speaker and a signal processor. The speaker may comprise one or more mismatched speaker components which are operably coupled to each other such that the components, together, have a low frequency response. The signal processor may operably couple to the one or more mismatched speaker components. The signal processor may be configured to process an input signal and to drive the speaker using the processed signal such that the speaker has a higher frequency response than the low frequency response.
