A video audio recording system includes a video acquisition unit, an audio acquisition unit, a video recording parameter acquisition unit, and an audio emphasis unit. The video acquisition unit acquires a video signal by recording video of a subject. The audio acquisition unit acquires an audio signal by recording a sound. The video recording parameter acquisition unit acquires first information representing a video recording direction of the video acquisition unit and second information representing a positional relationship between the video acquisition unit and the audio acquisition unit. The audio emphasis unit emphasizes, based on the acquired first and second information, the acquired audio signal of the sound arriving in a predetermined direction.

AUDIO DEVICE

An audio device having an improved bendable structure is disclosed. The audio device includes an amplifier unit configured to amplify an audio signal, at least one speaker unit configured to output the amplified audio signal as a sound signal, and at least one link unit rotatably connecting the at least one speaker unit to the amplifier unit.

Speaker system

The present disclosure relates to a piece of furniture, particularly an adjustable bed, having a speaker system. The bed includes a base having an outer peripheral edge. At least one speaker is mounted to the base of the piece of furniture, typically to the legs. The at least one speaker is mounted to face outwards from a center portion of the bed. The at least one speaker is mounted inboard of the outer peripheral edge of the base of the bed so as to conceal the speakers from a top view. The speaker system may also be used with various other pieces of furniture such as couches, chairs, tables, etc. A subwoofer may also be mounted to the base of the bed.

In one aspect, an apparatus for connecting a first object to a second object includes a member with a plurality of teeth and an attachment element which includes a plurality of teeth which can engage with the teeth of the member. One of the member and the attachment element are securable to one of the first and second objects. The other of the member and the attachment element are securable to the other of the first and second objects. A securing device prevents the member's teeth from disengaging with the attachment element's teeth such that the attachment element is secured to the member at a certain location along the member. As such, the attachment element can be secured to the member at a plurality of different locations along the member so that the first object can be connected to the second object in a plurality of different positions.

AUDIO REPRODUCTION DEVICE
20220053252 · 2022-02-17 ·

Provided is an audio reproduction device including: first and second speaker supports that have a lid shape and are provided on a case in an openable and closable manner; a sensor that detects a first state and a second state, the first and second speaker supports being closed in the first state, the first and second speaker supports being opened and held almost horizontally in the second state; first and second speakers respectively attached on front surfaces of the first and second speaker supports such that a distance in the second state is larger than a distance in the first state; and a reproduction characteristic control unit that switches reproduction characteristics of the first and second speakers in the first state and the second state on the basis of a detection signal from the sensor.

METHOD TO DETERMINE LOUDSPEAKER CHANGE OF PLACEMENT
20170280265 · 2017-09-28 ·

A system and method is described for determining whether a loudspeaker device has relocated, tilted, rotated, or changed environment such that one or more parameters for driving the loudspeaker may be modified and/or a complete reconfiguration of the loudspeaker system may be performed. In one embodiment, the system may include a set of sensors. The sensors provide readings that are analyzed to determine 1) whether the loudspeaker has moved since a previous analysis and/or 2) a distance of movement and/or a degree change in orientation of the loudspeaker since the previous analysis. Upon determining the level of movement is below a threshold value, the system adjusts previous parameters used to drive one or more of the loudspeakers. By adjusting previous parameters instead of performing a complete recalibration, the system provides a more efficient technique for ensuring that the loudspeakers continue to produce accurate sound for the listener.

LOW PROFILE CONNECTION PIN FOR AUDIO SYSTEM
