Abstract: The present invention provides for methods and systems for digitally processing an audio signal. Specifically the present invention provides for a speaker system that is configured to digitally process an audio signal in a manner such that studio-quality sound that can be reproduced.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a speaker system. The system includes: a speaker that comprises a magnet and a basket coupled to the magnet, the basket is configured to collapse upon impact with an external object; a panel having a first side coupled to the basket of the speaker and a second side facing a space; and a groove being disposed on the first side of the panel, wherein the groove is adjacent to an outer perimeter of the basket where the basket is coupled to the speaker.

Abstract: The present invention provides for methods and systems for digitally processing an audio signal. Specifically, the present invention provides for a headliner speaker system that is configured to digitally process an audio signal in a manner such that studio-quality sound that can be reproduced.

Abstract: In accordance with the invention, audio signals are specially processed for sound presentation in a high noise environment. The electrical signal representative of the sound is first subjected to equalization to preferentially reduce the magnitude of bass signals while increasing the magnitude of treble signals. The equalized signal is then compressed, and the compressed signal is subjected to “mirror image” equalization which increases the magnitude of bass signals while reducing the magnitude of treble signals. The resulting signal fed to the speakers provides a sound presentation of compressed volume range and a bass-rich sound spectrum. It is particularly useful for providing quality sound presentation in a high noise environment.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel systems, methods, and circuits useful for achieving quality sound presentation in high-noise environments. Specifically, the present invention provides systems, methods, and circuits for processing audio signals. The present invention further provides methods for hard-programming adjustments into a multi-band equalizer that compensates for anomalies associated with an anticipated listening environment.

Abstract: An acoustic speaker, and a headliner associated with one or more speakers, such that for each speaker, when impacted, the resultant HIC is less than 1000, where HIC is calculated by the following formula: HIC = 0.75446 ? ? ? ( [ 1 ( t 2 - t 1 ) ? ? t 1 t 2 ? a ? ? ? ? t ] 2.5 ? ( t 2 - t 1 ) ) + 166.4 , wherein the term a is the resultant acceleration of the headform expressed as a multiple of g (the acceleration of gravity), and t1 and t2 are any two points in time during the impact which are separated by not more than a 36 millisecond time interval. In order to effectuate this, the basket of the speaker may be deformable.
