    摘要: Stability is provided in an active noise reduction (ANR) headphone by measuring a sound field to generate an input signal, filtering and applying a variable gain to the input signal to produce a first filtered signal using a first filter and a variable gain amplifier in an ANR signal pathway, outputting the filtered signal, and simultaneously with outputting the first filtered signal, sampling a signal at a point in the ANR signal pathway and filtering the sampled signal using a second filter to produce a second filtered signal. The second filtered signal is compared to a threshold, and if the comparison finds that the second filtered signal is greater than the threshold signal, the gain of the variable gain amplifier is changed to attenuate the first filtered signal. The second filter applies different gains, different by at least 10 dB, in different frequency ranges between 10 Hz and 10 kHz.

    摘要: A vehicular active vibrational noise control apparatus includes an amplitude limiter for limiting the amplitude of a canceling signal based on a signal level of an audio signal, and a vehicle speed detector for detecting the vehicle speed of a vehicle, which incorporates therein the vehicular active vibrational noise control apparatus. The amplitude limiter changes an amplitude limitation rule, which represents a relationship of a limiting value for the amplitude of the canceling signal to the signal level, depending on the vehicle speed, and limits the amplitude of the canceling signal based on the limiting value determined according to the amplitude limitation rule.

    摘要: In accordance with methods and systems of the present disclosure, a processing circuit may implement at least one of: a feedback filter having a response that generates at least a portion of an anti-noise component from a playback corrected error, the playback corrected error based on a difference between the error microphone signal and a secondary path estimate; and a feedforward filter having a response that generates at least a portion of the anti-noise signal from a reference microphone signal. The processing circuit may also implement a secondary path estimate filter configured to model an electro-acoustic path of a source audio signal and have a response that generates a secondary path estimate from the source audio signal and a secondary path estimate performance monitor for monitoring performance of the secondary path estimate filter in modeling the electro-acoustic path.

    摘要: A personal audio device, such as a wireless telephone, includes noise canceling circuit that adaptively generates an anti-noise signal from a reference microphone signal and injects the anti-noise signal into the speaker or other transducer output to cause cancellation of ambient audio sounds. A processing circuit monitors a level of the anti-noise signal, determines that the anti-noise signal may cause damage to the transducer and adjusts the generation of the anti-noise signal such that damage to the transducer is prevented.

    摘要: An active acoustic noise reduction system which comprises a single input transducer and an output actuator that are physically located next to each other in the same location. In one embodiment, the input transducer and the output actuator are a hybrid represented by a single element. The active noise reduction system is located as close as possible to the noise source and functions to generate an antinoise cancellation sound wave with minimum delay and opposite phase with respect to the noise source. The noise reduction system also comprises a non linearity correction circuit, a delayed cancellation circuit and variable gain amplifier. The system provides user control of the quiet zones generated by the system by varying the gain of the variable gain amplifier. The system provides a user with the ability In one embodiment, an echo canceler is utilized to remove echoes fed back from the output actuator. In another embodiment, an input decoder is used instead of an echo canceler to remove feedback picked up from the output actuator.

    摘要: Active-noise-reduction (ANR) headsets protect the hearing of their users from loud persistent noises, such as airplane engines and construction equipment. These headsets generally include ear speakers and special circuitry to cancel or suppress certain types of loud persistent noises. One problem the present inventor recognized with active headsets, particularly those manufactured in mass quantities, concerns the performance variations that stem from inevitable variations in the fit of their earcups against heads of their users. For example, in putting on and taking off these headsets, some users experience low-pitched noises. Accordingly, the inventor devised, among other things, headsets that include front-cavity vents for equalizing the pressure between a front cavity portion of an earcup and an ambient environment.
