  • TRANSMIT REDUNDANCY AND AUTONOMOUS RECEIVER CHANNEL SELECTION IN A WIRELESS IN-EAR MONITOR AUDIO SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20240097725
    Abstract: Techniques for providing transmit redundancy for a wireless audio system, such as an in-ear monitor audio system, are discussed herein. Some embodiments may include tuning to a first wireless communication channel associated with a first carrier frequency to receive a radio frequency signal. Based on a determination that a communication channel condition for the first wireless communication channel satisfies a communication channel condition threshold, various embodiments include tuning to a second wireless communication channel associated with a second carrier frequency to receive the radio frequency signal, where the second carrier frequency is different from the first carrier frequency.

  • CONTROLLER WITH NETWORK MODE AND DIRECT MODE
    Publication number: 20230119258
    Abstract: A controller in a wireless system that may switch between two modes. In a first mode, the controller communicates directly with a wireless transceiver, using a first wireless protocol, and receives audio signal directly from the wireless transceiver, using a second wireless protocol. In a second mode, the controller communicates with a wireless transceiver via a wireless access point, using the first wireless protocol, and receives audio signal from the wireless transceiver via a wireless access point, using the second wireless protocol.
