  • Publication number: 20250380011
    Abstract: An example immersive audio signal processing system and a computer-implemented method for generating a target arena environment audio stream are provided. The example immersive audio signal processing system includes a plurality of multi-lobe digital sound wave capture devices positioned within the arena environment. The plurality of multi-lobe digital sound wave capture devices is configured to direct first beamformed lobes to a playing region of the arena environment, second beamformed lobes to a spectator region of the arena environment, and third beamformed lobes to a noise source region of the arena environment. A digital signal processor is configured to isolate noise audio components originating from at least the spectator region or the noise source region from the audio signal stream and generate a target arena environment audio stream.

  • Publication number: 20240422465
    Abstract: A microphone may comprise a housing and a rotatable positioning member. The rotatable positioning member may be configured to aid in the specific placement of the microphone capsule relative to the surface of an audio output device. The rotatable positioning member may offset a force caused by a tension in a cable connected to the housing based on the rotatable positioning member being rotated from a first position to a second position.

  • Publication number: 20240323605
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to an audio system architecture designed for sound reinforcement. The audio system may comprise one or more input device(s), one or more output device(s), one or more wireless hubs, and one or more user computing devices. Connections between the input device(s), output device(s), and the one or more wireless hubs may be wireless and automated and/or managed via the one or more user computing devices. The user computing devices or the wireless hub may adjust a configuration of each of the devices in the audio system. One or more of the devices in the audio system may be capable of a network connection which may enable recording, live-streaming to remote audiences, system management and operation, cloud-based storage and/or processing, and more.
