  • Post-mixing acoustic echo cancellation systems and methods
    Patent number: 11477327
    Abstract: Acoustic echo cancellation systems and methods are provided that can cancel and suppress acoustic echo from the output of a mixer that has mixed audio signals from a plurality of acoustic sources, such as microphones. The microphones may have captured speech and sound from a remote location or far end, such as in a conferencing environment. The acoustic echo cancellation may generate an echo-cancelled mixed audio signal based on a mixed audio signal from a mixer, information gathered from the audio signal from each of the plurality of acoustic sources, and a remote audio signal. The systems and methods may be computationally efficient and resource-friendly.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 26, 2019
    Date of Patent: October 18, 2022
    Assignee: Shure Acquisition Holdings, Inc.
    Inventors: Sean Wells-Rutherford, Mathew T. Abraham, John Casey Gibbs
