A vehicle and a controlling method of the same controlling an output of a speaker based on a mutual influence between a plurality of speakers provided on a crush pad are provided. The vehicle includes a crush pad, a first speaker provided on the crush pad, and a second speaker provided on the crush pad and positioned on one side of the first speaker. An amplifier supplies current to the first speaker and the second speaker and a detector detects the current of the first speaker and the current of the second speaker. A controller is configured to compensate a movement of the second speaker caused by an operation of the first speaker based on an output of the detector when a current is supplied to the first speaker among the first speaker and the second speaker.

An example method of operation may include determining a frequency response to a measured chirp signal detected from one or more speakers, determining an average value of the frequency response based on a high limit value and a low limit value, subtracting a measured response from a target response, and the target response is based on one or more filter frequencies; determining a frequency limited target filter with audible parameters based on the subtraction, and applying an infinite impulse response (IIR) biquad filter based on an area defined by the frequency limited target filter to equalize the frequency response of the one or more speakers.

An example method of operation may include identifying speakers and microphones connected to a network controlled by a controller, assigning a preliminary output gain to the speakers used to apply test signals, measuring ambient noise detected from the microphones, recording chirp responses from all microphones simultaneously based on the test signals, deconvolving all chirp responses to determine a corresponding number of impulse responses, and measuring average sound pressure levels (SPLs) of each of the microphones to obtain a SPL level based on an average of the SPLs.

An example method of operation may include initiating an automated tuning procedure, detecting via one or more microphones a sound measurement associated with an output of one or more speakers at two or more locations, determining a number of speech transmission index (STI) values equal to a number of microphones, and averaging the speech transmission index values to identify a single speech transmission index value.

An example method of operation may include identifying, in a particular room environment, a number of speakers and one or more microphones on a network controlled by a controller and amplifier, providing test signals to play sequentially from each amplifier channel of the amplifier and the speakers, monitoring the test signals from the one or more microphones simultaneously to detect operational speakers and amplifier channels, providing additional test signals to the speakers to determine tuning parameters, detecting the additional test signals at the one or more microphones controlled by the controller, and automatically establishing a background noise level and noise spectrum of the room environment based on the detected additional test signals.

Disclosed is a method of operating an audio signal processing apparatus playing content including an audio signal. The method includes receiving the audio signal, receiving metadata including information related to a loudness of the audio signal, the metadata including loudness distribution information indicating, for each of a plurality of steps separated according to a loudness magnitude, a ratio between an amount of the audio signal corresponding to each of the plurality of steps of the audio signal and a total amount of the audio signal, and adjusting the loudness of the audio signal based on the metadata.

A system configured to perform audio limiting using block-based processing to reduce acoustic distortion and/or computational cost. While sample-by-sample processing would apply a plurality of gain ramps to a single audio sample, the block-based processing applies a single gain ramp to ensure that the audio sample is below a threshold value. To perform block-based processing, an audio limiter component identifies a maximum amplitude value across all channels for a selected audio frame of an audio signal. Using the maximum amplitude value and the threshold value, the audio limiter component determines a block gain value associated with the selected audio frame and selects between attack processing, hold processing, or release processing. Using the selected processing and the block gain value, the audio limiter component determines instantaneous gain values for the audio samples within the audio frame.

A controller regulates the voltage delivered to the load and current drawn from the battery in an audio system depending on ripple in the battery voltage which is input to the controller to allocate power for audio playback. Regulation maximizes available headroom while avoiding audio clipping. The effect of internal battery and external parasitic resistance (ESR) on ripple is compensated by an iterative process. ESR is rapidly increased whenever the minimum of the battery voltage input to the controller falls below a clipping threshold and slowly decreased whenever such voltage exceeds such threshold and the audio is under compression. A limiter allocates power to utilize more of the available audio headroom. A de-emphasis filter in each audio signal path compensates for capacitive ripple in the battery voltage input to the controller. As the frequency of the audio input changes, the filter(s) allow frequency-dependent power/current regulation to fill the full audio range without distortion.

A signal processing apparatus includes a first signal processing circuit configured to generate a first sound signal based on an input signal, and a second signal processing circuit configured to generate a second sound signal based on the first sound signal. In a case that a gain of the first signal processing circuit is switched, the second signal processing circuit generates, for a predetermined time after the gain of the first signal processing circuit is switched, a value of the second sound signal based on a value of the first sound signal at or before a timing of the gain of the first signal processing circuit being switched.

A dynamic audio broadcasting method is to receive an audio signal and an ambient sound, compare the audio signal and the ambient sound to adjust an amplification volume of the audio signal, and play the audio signal at the amplification volume. An audio broadcasting apparatus includes an audio receiver, an ambient sound receiver, a speaker, and a processing module electrically connected to the above components. The processing module is configured to receive an audio signal and an ambient sound through the audio receiver and the ambient sound receiver respectively, compare the audio signal and the ambient sound to adjust an amplification volume of the audio signal, and play the audio signal at the amplification volume through the speaker.
