    摘要: Noise signals are captured from one or more physical error microphones located at first locations within the vehicle. High-frequency noise signals are captured from a feedforward system sensor. A virtual microphone algorithm is utilized to estimate noise signals at a virtual location based on the noise signals, the estimation utilizing a transfer function that estimates a signal that would have been received by the one or more physical error microphones at the virtual location. The virtual microphone algorithm is utilized to estimate noise signals at the virtual location based on the high-frequency noise signal. A noise-cancelling signal is provided to cancel noise at the virtual location, the noise-cancelling signal accounting for the noise captured by both the feedforward system sensor and the one or more physical error microphones, the ANC system utilizing a working frequency for the ANC of at least 2 kHz.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and apparatus are provided for recording high output power levels of sound at low sound pressure levels. For example, an apparatus comprises an enclosure, a speaker disposed within the enclosure, a microphone disposed within the enclosure, and an evacuation port. The evacuation port is configured to connect to a system that reduces a pressure level within the enclosure to a level that is less than an ambient air pressure level outside the enclosure. The enclosure is sealed or otherwise configured to provide a sealed enclosure, to maintain the reduced air pressure within the enclosure. The speaker can be driven by an amplifier at high output power levels to generate a distorted sound of an amplified electric musical instrument for recording purposes, while the reduced pressure level within the enclosure serves to attenuate the sound pressure level and perceived loudness which emanates from the speaker.

    摘要: A sound collecting apparatus capable of effectively suppressing sounds other than a target sound is provided. The sound collecting apparatus includes a plurality of microphones. A total number of effective microphone pairs in which a distance between two microphones is smaller than a distance D is larger than a total number of the plurality of microphones. The distance D is represented by D=c/2f, where the frequency of the target sound acquired from each of the plurality of microphones is f and sound velocity is c. When an angle formed by a straight line connecting two microphones configuring an effective microphone pair and a predetermined straight line is θ, the angles θ of all effective microphone pairs acquired from the plurality of microphones are different from each other.

    摘要: A capacitive transducer includes a substrate having an opening in a surface thereof, a back plate facing the opening in the substrate, a vibration electrode film facing the back plate across a space, the vibration electrode film being displaceable to have a displacement converted into a change in capacitance between the vibration electrode film and the back plate, an airflow channel defined by a gap between a protrusion integral with the back plate and a part of the vibration electrode film, the airflow channel being configured to increase an area of air flow when the vibration electrode film deforms under pressure to move relative to the protrusion integral with the back plate and relieve the pressure applied to the vibration electrode film to serve as a pressure relief channel, and an extension formed at a periphery of a hole in the vibration electrode film defining the pressure relief channel.
