Abstract: An audio system having low latency includes a digital audio processor as well as sensor inputs coupled to the processor. The sensor inputs may be microphone inputs. The audio processor operates at the same frequency as the sensor inputs, which is typically much higher than an audio signal provided to the audio processor. In some aspects the audio processor operates as a noise cancellation processor and does not include an audio input.

Abstract: A programmable Active Noise Compensation (ANC) system for an audio input includes a parameter store structured to store a number of various filter parameters. A mode of operation is selected that represents the type of environment the ANC system is operating in—feed-forward, feed-back, or combined feed-forward and feedback. Different filter parameters are retrieved from the parameter store based on the selected mode and desired operation. Audio inputs are sampled at a relatively high sample rate that matches inputs from a feed-forward and feedback microphone that may be present in the system. Parameters and instructions may be changed in the system responsive to changing conditions of the compensation system.

Abstract: An audio processing system can include an Analog to Digital Converter structured to receive an analog input signal and convert the analog input signal to a digital input signal, a first processor coupled with the Analog to Digital Converter, the first processor including at least one programmable bi-quadratic filter chain structured to receive the digital input signal from the Analog to Digital Converter and perform audio processing on the received digital input signal at a first clock rate, and a second processor coupled with the first processor and the Analog to Digital Converter and structured to receive the digital input signal from the Analog to Digital Converter and perform audio processing on the received digital input signal at a second clock rate that is different from the first clock rate.

Abstract: A system including an automatic noise canceling (ANC) headphone and a processor. The ANC headphone has a microphone configured to generate a microphone signal and at least two non-zero ANC gain levels. The processor is configured to receive the microphone signal, determine a characteristic of the microphone signal, and identify a revised ANC level from the ANC gain levels based on a comparison of the characteristic to at least one threshold. Methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: A fixture for calibrating an active noise canceling (ANC) earphone, the calibration fixture including an ear model and an acoustic path. The ear model is configured to support an ANC earphone and includes an ear canal extending from an outer end of the ear canal to an inner end of the ear canal. The acoustic path is external to the ear canal and extends from, at a first end of the acoustic path, the inner end of the ear canal of the ear model to an opposite, second end of the acoustic path. The acoustic path is configured to transmit a mechanical sound wave received from the inner end of the ear canal to a region external to the ear model and adjacent the outer end of the ear canal.

Abstract: A method of operating an earbud configured to be removed from and inserted into a user's ear canal can include generating an input signal by an input signal generating device. The method can also include determining whether an insertion event has occurred based on the generated input signal and causing the earbud to operate in a low power mode responsive to an absence of an insertion event determination after a first period of time. The method can also include causing the earbud to operate in an ultra-low power mode responsive to the absence of an insertion event determination after a second period of time that occurs after the first period of time, the ultra-low power mode having a lower power consumption than the low power mode.
