  • Wireless microphone system and methods for synchronizing a wireless transmitter and a wireless receiver
    Patent number: 12204811
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a wireless microphone system that allows one or more microphones to wirelessly communicate with a receiver. Additionally, the wireless microphone system may allow for a plurality of microphones to be used interchangeably with the receiver. To ensure communication between the receiver and the one or more microphones, the receiver may occasionally transmit a synchronization signal to the one or more microphones. In response to receiving the synchronization signal, at least one of the one or more microphones may determine that a clock of the at least one microphone is drifting from the master audio clock of the receiver. The at least one microphone may then adjust the microphone's audio clock to re-synchronize the audio clock of the microphone with the master audio clock of the receiver.

  • Wireless Microphone System Using Multiple Wireless Communication Protocols
    Publication number: 20230393805
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a wireless microphone system that allows one or more microphones to wirelessly communicate with one or more wireless receivers. The wireless microphone system may allow for a plurality of microphones to be used interchangeably with the one or more receivers. The communications between the one or more wireless microphones and the one or more wireless receivers may utilize more than one wireless communication protocol, such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) as well as a proprietary protocol such as a non-Bluetooth 2.4 GHz wireless communication protocol, and the system may switch between the wireless communication protocols. The one or more wireless microphones may further synchronize communications with the one or more receivers.
