SETTING TUNING/PRESETS FOR AUDIO BEING PLAYED FROM PLURAL SOURCES
Techniques are described for wirelessly receiving, at first and second speaker assemblies, signals representing left and right audio channels from each of first and second sources, and using the signals, simultaneously playing, on both speaker assemblies, music, computer game audio, computer chat audio, and speech picked up by speaker microphones. User-adjusted and non-user-adjusted EQ may be implemented on various portions of the signal processing.
Wooden or other dielectric capacitive touch interface and loudspeaker having same
Wireless-enabled loudspeaker includes a capacitive touch user interface. The loudspeaker may comprise at least one electroacoustic transducer, a processor in communication with the at least one electroacoustic transducer, and an exterior surface comprising a capacitive touch user interface that allows a user to control operation of the loudspeaker. The exterior surface acts a dielectric for the capacitive touch user interface. The loudspeaker may comprise a wireless transceiver circuit for receiving and transmitting wireless communication signals via a wireless network. The wireless transceiver circuit may receive wirelessly audio content from streaming audio content servers that are connected to the Internet. The capacitive touch user interface comprises a plurality of capacitive sense electrodes.
Adjusting a playback device
Certain embodiments provide methods and systems for managing a sound profile. An example playback device includes a network interface and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored therein instructions executable by the processor. When executed by the processor, the instructions are to configure the playback device to receive, via the network interface over a local area network (LAN) from a controller device, an instruction. The example playback device is to obtain, based on the instruction, via the network interface from a location outside of the LAN, data comprising a sound profile. The example playback device is to update one or more parameters at the playback device based on the sound profile. The example playback device is to play back an audio signal according to the sound profile.
