Patent number: 9544705Abstract: A sound system and method for capturing and reproducing sounds produced by a plurality of sound sources are disclosed. Sounds produced by the plurality of sound sources may be received and converted separately to separate audio signals without mixing the audio signals. The audio signals may be separately stored on a recording medium without mixing the audio signals. Such audio signals may be read from the recording medium and separately amplified using an amplification network of amplifiers. Loudspeakers in a loudspeaker network may be used to separately reproduce the sounds from the amplified audio signals. Components within a signal path may be dynamically controlled by a controller. The amplifiers and/or loudspeakers for each signal path may be customized based on the characteristics and complexities of the original sound to be reproduced on each signal path.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2013Date of Patent: January 10, 2017Assignee: Verax Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Randall B.

Patent number: 8520858Abstract: A sound system for capturing and reproducing sounds produced by a plurality of sound sources. The system comprises a device for receiving sounds produced by the plurality of sound sources and converting the separately received sounds to a plurality of separate audio signals without mixing the audio signals. The system may further comprise a device for separately storing the plurality of separate audio signals on a recording medium without mixing the audio signals and a device for reading the stored audio signals from the recording medium. The system further includes a reproduction system for recreating the plurality of separate audio signals. Also, the system comprises an amplification network which comprises a plurality of amplifier systems, with one or more separate amplifiers in each amplifier system for separately amplifying each of the separate audio signals.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2006Date of Patent: August 27, 2013Assignee: Verax Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Randall B.

Patent number: 7994412Abstract: A sound system and method for modeling a sound field generated by a sound source and creating a sound event based on the modeled sound field is disclosed. The system and method captures a sound field over an enclosing surface, models the sound field and enables reproduction of the modeled sound field. Explosion type acoustical radiation may be used. Further, the reproduced sound field may be modeled and compared to the original sound field model.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2005Date of Patent: August 9, 2011Assignee: Verax Technologies Inc.Inventor: Randall B. Metcalf

Patent number: 7636448Abstract: A system and method for recording and reproducing three-dimensional sound events using a discretized, integrated macro-micro sound volume for reproducing a 3D acoustical matrix that reproduces sound including natural propagation and reverberation. The system and method may include sound modeling and synthesis that may enable sound to be reproduced as a volumetric matrix. The volumetric matrix may be captured, transferred, reproduced, or otherwise processed, as a spatial spectra of discretely reproduced sound events with controllable macro-micro relationships.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2005Date of Patent: December 22, 2009Assignee: Verax Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Randall B.
