  • Publication number: 20240303028
    Abstract: An audio data processing and transmission system has multiple audio data transmitter devices and an audio data receiver device. The audio data receiver device is communicatively connected to the audio data transmitter devices. The audio data transmitter device acquires a piece of first audio data which has not been performed with digital signal processing and has no functions of the digital signal processing. The audio data receiver device receives multiple pieces of the first audio data transmitted by the audio data transmitter devices, and performs the digital signal processing on the multiple pieces of the first audio data which have not been performed with digital signal processing. The audio data transmitter devices have no digital signal processing circuits, and the work of the digital signal processing is transfer to the audio data receiver device, thus reducing an overall cost of the audio data processing and transmission system.
