VOICE REINFORCEMENT IN MULTIPLE SOUND ZONE ENVIRONMENTS

Microphone signal is received from at least one microphone. AEC produces an echo cancelled microphone signal using first adaptive filters to estimate and cancel feedback that is a result of the environment. AFC produces a processed microphone signal using second adaptive filters to estimate and cancel feedback resulting from application of the reinforced voice signal within the environment. The uttered speech is reinforced in the processed microphone signal to produce the reinforced voice signal. The reinforced voice signal and the audio signal is applied to the loudspeakers. A step size of adjustment of the second adaptive filters may be increased responsive to detection of reverberation in the microphone signal. The reverberation that is used to control the step size of the second adaptive filters may be added artificially. This may provide multiple benefits including improving adjustment of the second adaptive filters and also improving the sound impression of the voice.

CONTROL DEVICE
20230214172 · 2023-07-06 ·

A control device is connected with a microphone and a display device. The control device can be used to implement a microphone gain setting process. The control device includes an adjustment knob. When the adjustment knob of the control device is pressed down, the control device starts to implement the microphone gain setting process. At the same time, a message is shown on the display device to prompt that the control device starts to implement the microphone gain setting process and prompt the user to emit a sound to the microphone for a time period. Consequently, the sound is amplified by a signal gain amplifier of the control device. Then, a message is shown on the display device to prompt the user that the microphone gain setting process is completed.
