  • Apparatus, method, and manufacture for connectable gain-sharing automixers
    Patent number: 8542849
    Abstract: A device for audio mixing includes a cascade input port and a first cascade input component that includes a first cascade input level detector component that detects an audio level of an upstream sum audio signal. The first cascade input port also includes an attenuator component that attenuates the first upstream mix audio signal by a gain corresponding to difference between the upstream sum audio signal value and a detected audio level of an input sum audio signal. The device also includes a summer component where the signals summed include at least the first upstream sum audio signal. The device also includes an input sum level detector component that detects the audio level of the input sum audio signal. The device also includes a mixer component that is configured to provide a mix output signal by summing, where the signals summed include at least the first attenuated upstream mix signal.
