  • Patent number: 10044454
    Abstract: An audio hub is disclosed including a plurality of daughterboards and a mainboard communicatively coupled to each of the plurality of daughterboards. Each of the plurality of daughterboards is associated with an audio channel and each audio channel is independent from the other of the audio channels associated with the other ones of the plurality of daughter boards. Further, each daughterboard includes at least one wireless transceiver operably configured to wirelessly transmit an audio signal associated with the corresponding audio channel from a musical instrument over a network to the audio playback device. The mainboard is configured so that, for each of the plurality of daughterboards, the mainboard is operable to independently modify at least one characteristic of the audio signal from the musical instrument before the audio signal is transmitted to the audio playback device.

  • Patent number: 8358799
    Abstract: An audio headphone apparatus having ambient noise isolation properties for musicians and sound engineers which allows a user to substantially attenuate ambient noise levels and focus on the electronic audio presented to the headphones. The apparatus utilizes a unique layering of absorber materials with unique geometric shapes which in combination highly attenuate external ambient acoustic energy and control undesirable “boomy” bass response. The apparatus further has a jack adapter holder which retains a ¼ inch adapter for use with an external plug on the headphones.
