Patent number: 9560460Abstract: Systems and methods for calibrating a loudspeaker with a connection to a microphone located at a listening area in a room. The loudspeaker includes self-calibration functions to adjust speaker characteristics according to effects generated by operating the loudspeaker in the room. In one example, the microphone picks up a test signal generated by the loudspeaker and the loudspeaker uses the test signal to determine the loudspeaker frequency response. The frequency response is analyzed below a selected low frequency value for a room mode. The loudspeaker generates parameters for a digital filter to compensate for the room modes. In another example, the loudspeaker may be networked with other speakers to perform calibration functions on all of the loudspeakers in the network.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2013Date of Patent: January 31, 2017Assignee: Harman International Industries, IncorporatedInventors: Peter Chaikin, Geoffrey Christopherson, Brian Ellison, John Lee, Miguel Paganini, C. Rex Reed, Timothy Shuttleworth, Gregory Wright

Patent number: 7373210Abstract: An effects and recording system is provided which is capable of recording at least one of a received audio signal and a processed audio signal generated by the application of musical effects to the received audio signal. The audio signal may be captured from any device capable of producing an audio signal. The effects and recording system may provide various recording capabilities including auto track selection and arming, automatic signal routing, delayed recording initialization, automatic level setting and panning settings, editing capabilities, and the merging of recorded tracks. Additionally, the effects and recording system may provide various monitoring capabilities, including automatic level, panning, and/or effects or other filtering of signals recorded or monitored via the system, as well as an enhanced mix-down feature, and music mix-down type.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2003Date of Patent: May 13, 2008Assignee: Harman International Industries, IncorporatedInventors: James D. Pennock, Peter Chaikin, Josh Kapp, John Hanson
