RE-CREATING THE SOUND QUALITY OF AN AUDIENCE LOCATION IN A PERFORMANCE SPACE
A computer-based method for reproducing a sound quality in a performance space is provided. The method includes accessing a multi-dimensional sound signature, stored in a computer, for an audience location in a first performance space. The method further includes receiving sound data from a sound input device in a second performance space. The method further includes modifying the sound data to match a sound characteristic of the multi-dimensional sound signature. The method further includes transmitting the modified sound data through a sound output device in the second performance space.

AUTOMOTIVE INTERIOR ACOUSTIC TESTING AND DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT
A vehicle cabin simulator module provides flexible reconfiguration of transducer locations for evaluating acoustic performance in a vehicle design at a prototyping stage. A frame lattice defines a plurality of cavities around an interior space. A plurality of transducer assemblies are mounted in selected ones of the cavities, each assembly having a faceplate mounting a transducer for acoustic coupling with the interior space. Blank panels are mounted in other selected cavities to shutter the respective cavities. A covering liner is applied to an inner side of the frame lattice. Wiring is provided to interconnect the transducers with a signal processor. The frame lattice further defines a door section radially movable for enclosing the interior space at a closed position and for providing ingress and egress to the interior space at an open position.

Audio demonstration kit
An audio demonstration kit encourages understanding of audio concepts by enabling children to construct and study speaker performance. In a particular example, the audio demonstration kit includes a paper speaker and instructions. The paper speaker includes a backplate, a suspension, and a diaphragm cut from a single sheet of paper. The demonstration kit may feature an amplifier that is configurable to accommodate various hardware additions as a child is ready for more progressively challenging construction. For example, the amplifier of an example allows single and dual mode operation, as well as drives a rotary motor and is coordinated with a strobe light. The amplifier of an example is synchronized with the strobe light and a moveable platform to create the impression of that jiggling figures attached to the table are dancing. Interfaces with smart phone, recording, and other technologies further enhances and encourages the learning experience.
