An audio apparatus is constructed for use in negative drive of a loudspeaker having an internal impedance to perform a desired amplitude-frequency characteristic. In the audio apparatus, an amplifier device drives the loudspeaker with a driving voltage. A feedback device performs a positive feedback of a signal corresponding to the driving voltage of the loudspeaker to the amplifier device with a variable feedback gain, thereby causing the amplifier device to generate a negative impedance effective to negate the internal impedance of the loudspeaker. An adjustment device decreases the variable feedback gain of the feedback device as a level of the driving voltage of the loudspeaker increases, thereby adjusting the amplitude-frequency characteristic of the amplifier device.

The present invention relates to an acoustic signal processor, and provides a device which allows processing of acoustic signals such that acoustic information can be easily heard and accurately understood by individuals with or without hearing impairment. The acoustic signal processor comprises a peak detection circuit group (4) for determining a frequency band having the highest energy level out of the frequency bands constituting the inputted acoustic signals, and a variable equalizer(7) which maintains the energy level roughly at a constant level for the frequency bands lower than the frequency band determined by peak detection circuit group (4), and increases the amplification degree of the energy level as the frequency increases for the frequency bands higher than the frequency band determined by the peak detection circuit group(4)

A device for enhancing the bass frequency components in an audio signal while avoiding overload problems associated with fixed levels of bass frequency enhancement. The device divides the input signal into two parts, the first of which passes through to the output of the device. The second part of the input signal is input into a low pass filter (2) which passes only the bass components of the input signal and imparts a frequency dependent phase shift to the bass components. The bass components then pass through a variable gain amplifier (3) which may or may not invert the polarity of the bass components and then are recombined with the first part of the audio signal. The gain of the variable gain amplifier (3) is varied in accord with the level of the bass components so as to provide substantially the same output level over a wide range of input levels. As a consequence the device provides greater enhancement of the bass frequencies when they are at lower levels and less enhancement when the bass frequencies are at higher levels, thereby reducing the likelihood of overloading any subsequent audio signal amplifiers. The enhancement is the result of a dynamically changing frequency response and increased duration of the bass frequencies.

Audio processing methods and apparatus are provided for at least partially compensating for the Fletcher-Munson effect. An audio processor includes a variable filter receiving an input signal and providing a filtered output signal, the variable filter having a fixed cutoff frequency and a quality factor that is controllable in response to a control signal, and a control circuit configured to detect a signal level representative of input signal level in a selected band and to generate the control signal in response to the detected signal level. The control circuit may include a low-pass band select filter and a detector for detecting a signal level in the band selected by the low-pass filter and for generating the control signal.
