    摘要: The invention relates to a loudspeaker system with power consumption control. The loudspeaker system comprises a powered audio bus, a bus driver connected to the powered audio bus where the bus driver feeds control information and audio information into the audio bus. The system further comprises loudspeaker nodes connected to the powered audio bus, where each of the nodes comprises a loudspeaker and an amplifier for driving the loudspeaker based on power from the audio bus, the control information and the audio information. The loudspeaker system further comprises a power consumption control arrangement arranged to reduce a power consumption of the loudspeaker nodes. The power consumption reduction may be obtained on basis of monitored parameters and may be performed for example by entering a standby mode, by reducing the bus voltage which powers the loudspeaker nodes, by reducing a switch frequency of the amplifiers and by other means.

    摘要: Method and apparatus for physical detecting movement of a playback device which plays audio sound via a speaker enclosed in the playback device. While the speaker plays the audio sound, a determination is made whether the playback device is physically moving. In response to the playback device physically moving, the audio sound played by the speaker is modified, for example, by adjusting the volume or equalization of the audio sound, so as to reduce the physical movement of the playback device.

    摘要: A method and system for attenuating noise comprises identifying a location in an area at which sound emitted from one or more speakers has acoustic characteristics that are substantially similar in measure to corresponding acoustic characteristics of the emitted sound at a location approximated to be near an ear of an occupant of the area. A microphone, which may be a virtual microphone, is disposed at the identified location. The microphone detects sound at the identified location. In response to the sound detected by the microphone, the one or more speakers emit a noise-canceling audio signal adapted to attenuate one or more frequencies in the sound detected by the microphone.

    摘要: Embodiments described herein involve configuring a playback device based on the detection of a barrier in proximity to the playback device. In an example embodiment, a playback device causes one or more speakers to emit audio and then receives audio data representing at least a portion of the emitted audio. The playback device determines, based on the received audio data, that a barrier is distorting audio output of the playback device by at least a distortion threshold. In response to determining that the barrier is distorting audio output of the playback device beyond the distortion threshold, the playback device applies a playback configuration that at least partially offsets the distortion. The playback device may cause the one or more speakers to play back audio content according to the playback configuration.

    摘要: A system of this invention is directed to a speech processing system that efficiently performs noise suppression processing for a plurality of noise sources spreading in a lateral direction with respect to a speaker of interest. The speech processing system includes a microphone array including a plurality of microphones, each of which inputs a sound mixture including speech of a speaker of interest and noise from a noise source region including a plurality of noise sources placed in a lateral direction with respect to the speaker of interest, and outputs a mixture signal including a speech signal and a noise signal, the plurality of microphones being arranged such that a difference between respective distances from the plurality of microphones to the speaker of interest becomes different from a difference between respective distances from the plurality of microphones to the noise source region, and a noise suppressor that suppresses the noise based on the mixture signals output from the plurality of microphones.

    摘要: A more clear-cut separation of a first audio signal within a first region of a sonication area of a plurality of loudspeakers is achieved in that a calculator calculates that version of the audio signals which results from the spatially selective reproduction of the audio signals at this first region, in that a masking threshold is calculated as a function of the version of that audio signal which is to be separated from the one or more other audio signals at this region, and in that the emission of the audio signals for spatially selective reproduction to the outputs of the plurality of loudspeakers is influenced as a function of a comparison of the masking threshold with the version of the one or more other, i.e. spurious, audio signals.
