Publication number: 20220159374Abstract: An audio device may be configured to have multiple modes of operation. The mode of the device may be associated with a particular geometric configuration of the device, such as by swiveling an arm of the device and/or changing the orientation of the device with respect to gravity and/or a surface (e.g., table) on which the device rests. The device may determine the appropriate state based on the current geometry, and based on the state may tune the device for a particular operation suited for that geometry. For example, different signal processing parameters may be applied, different microphones may be enabled and disabled, and/or different acoustic conditions may be provided (for example, different modes of a passive radiator) based on the mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2021Publication date: May 19, 2022Inventors: Brent Robert Shumard, Walter Timothy Harwood, Michael Knappe

Patent number: 9360155Abstract: A microphone is mounted to apparatus in order to receive sound from a sound source. The apparatus has a microphone clamp to secure different microphones to a variety of musical instruments and other sound sources and may be used to directly mount a microphone to a variety of clamping surfaces. The mounting apparatus incorporates a dual jaw design to allow for easy, fast, and secure mounting to the clamping surface. The apparatus supports a quick release mechanism for easy and fast engagement and disengagement of the dual jaws, consequently reducing time needed to securely clamp and remove the mounting apparatus with the clamping surface. The release mechanism may include a dowel release having a hole through which the jaw stud is situated. The hole has two curved surfaces so that one of jaws may be moved without turning the jaw stud when the dowel release is depressed.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2013Date of Patent: June 7, 2016Assignee: Shure Acquisition Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Jon Caleb Halverson, Walter Timothy Harwood, Paul Mark Jacobs, Martin K. Reiling, John P. Devlin, Gabor Zanoni
