  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ASSISTING SELECTIVE HEARING
    Publication number: 20220159403
    Abstract: A system and a corresponding method for assisting selective hearing are provided. The system includes a detector for detecting an audio source signal portion of one or more audio sources by using at least two received microphone signals of a hearing environment. In addition, the system includes a position determiner for allocating position information to each of the one or more audio sources. In addition, the system includes an audio type classifier for assigning an audio source signal type to the audio source signal portion of each of the one or more audio sources. In addition, the system includes a signal portion modifier for varying the audio source signal portion of at least one audio source of the one or more audio sources depending on the audio signal type of the audio source signal portion of the at least one audio source so as to obtain a modified audio signal portion of the at least one audio source. In addition, the system includes a signal generator.

  • Mixing desk, sound signal generator, method and computer program for providing a sound signal
    Patent number: 10075800
    Abstract: A mixing console (300) for processing at least a first and a second source signal and for providing a mixed audio signal comprises an audio signal generator (100) for providing an audio signal (120) for a virtual listening position (202) within a space (200), in which an acoustic scene is recorded by at least a first microphone (204) at a first known position within the space (200) as the first source signal (210) and by at least a second microphone (206) at a second known position within the space (200) as the second source signal (212).
