    Abstract: To enable a patron of a venue attending a performance to feel as if he or she is ‘front and center’ even if located much farther away or angled from a stage of the venue, system and methods that enhance audio quality of audio signals especially over the voice frequency spectrum to generate a processed audio signal including an increased voice frequency spectrum are provided. The processed audio signal may be communicated to a receiving system with a headset or other transducer (e.g., loudspeakers) that allows for ambient sounds to be heard by a patron and for the patron to control volume of the processed audio signal, thereby mixing the processed audio signal with the ambient sounds. The receiving system may be rented and an operator may control usage for both performance or long-term rentals using various control features of the processed audio signals and/or receiving system.
