Abstract: An audio processor includes a detector configured to determine a correlation of first and second data corresponding to an analog FM component and an HD FM component, respectively, of a broadcast RF signal. A signal processor is configured to receive an input audio signal, to generate an analog FM audio signal and an HD FM audio signal therefrom and to control a relative timing of the analog FM audio signal and the HD FM audio signal based on the determined correlation. The signal processor may include a multiband limiter configured to generate a multiband limited audio signal responsive to the input audio signal, an HD FM audio processor configured to generate the HD FM audio signal responsive to the multiband limited audio signal, and an analog FM audio processor configured to generate the analog FM audio signal responsive to the multiband limited audio signal and to delay the analog FM audio signal responsive to the timing control signal.

Abstract: A system and method for routing digital audio data synchronized where the source and destination units are synchronized to individual, local chip-scale atomic clocks. A source unit receives audio data and digitizes the data in synchronization to a local atomic clock. The data is transmitted via a communications network to at least one destination unit that receives the network transmitted data, decodes and reconstructs the data in synchronization with its own local atomic clock, and outputs the data to an audio destination.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing an audio signal in multiple audio frequency bands while minimizing undesirable changes in tonal qualities of the audio signal by determining an initial gain adjustment factor for each audio frequency band resulting from the application of an audio processing technique. A final gain adjustment factor for each band is selected from a corresponding set of weighted or unweighted initial gain adjustment factors. The set of initial gain adjustment factors from which the final gain adjustment factor for a specified audio frequency band is obtained is derived from other audio frequency bands that have the frequency of the specified band as a harmonic frequency. Changes in audio signal level within one audio frequency band thereby affect the signal level of harmonic frequencies to decrease relative changes in volume between a fundamental frequency and its harmonics.
