Abstract: A decoder and method of decoding a sub-band coded digital audio signal. The decoder comprises: an input, for receiving sub-band coefficients for a plurality of sub-bands of the audio signal; an error detection unit, adapted to analyze the content of a sequence of coefficients in one of the sub-bands, to derive for each coefficient an indication of whether the coefficient has been corrupted by an error of a predefined type; an error masking unit, adapted to generate from the sequence a modified sequence of coefficients for the sub-band, wherein errors of the predefined type are attenuated; a coefficient combination unit, adapted to combine the received coefficients and the modified coefficients, in dependence upon the indication of error; and a signal reconstruction unit, adapted to reconstruct the audio signal using the combined coefficients.

Abstract: In a sound reproduction or recording system an audio signal is multiplied by a gain factor (z) which is dependent on the input level (y). The dependence of the gain factor on input level is chosen such that unvoiced phonemes are at least 6 dB, preferably at least 12 dB more enhanced than voiced phonemes, where preferably the average gain is less than 6 dB. This improves the intelligibility.

Abstract translation: 在声音再现或记录系统中，音频信号乘以取决于输入电平（y）的增益因子（z）。 选择增益因子对输入电平的依赖性使得清音音素比浊音素增强至少6dB，优选至少12dB，其中平均增益最好小于6dB。 这提高了清晰度。
