Abstract: An intelligent solo-mute switching system for an audio signal processing device having a plurality of channels. A plurality of multi-throw momentary switches are monitored by a switch interface to detect at least three switch events. A channel state controller responds to the at least three switch events detected by the switch interface in directing a channel gain matrix to govern the plurality of channels.
Abstract: Coded test signals in two or more distinct coding formats are applied sequentially to the equipment under test (EUT) according to a test sequence. The ordering, timing and source characteristics of the coded test signals are fully programmable. The output of the EUT is analyzed to verify proper decoding and detect audible artifacts. A means for comparing recorded test events allows a test engineer to detect failure modes of the autodetection system in the EUT.
