Abstract:
An audio device, in at least one embodiment, includes a device package and a plurality of microphones. The device package defines a component cavity and a plurality of vias including a first via and a second via. The vias comprise openings in the device package extending between the component cavity and an exterior. The microphones are located within the component cavity. The microphones are configured to generate electrical signals in accordance with acoustic pressure in the respective vias. A disclosed audio apparatus includes an apparatus housing and a speaker and one or more noise cancellation microphones within the frame. The speaker includes a speaker diaphragm configured to vibrate in accordance with an audio signal. The apparatus housing may define a speaker cavity configured to mechanically support the speaker diaphragm. In at least one embodiment, the audio apparatus includes a multi-microphone device including a first transducer corresponding to a first via and a second transducer corresponding to a second via. A first acoustical conduit may extend from a first end in proximity to the first via to a first exterior location and a second acoustical conduit may extend from a second end in proximity to the second via to a second exterior location.

Abstract:
In accordance with the present disclosure, an integrated circuit for implementing at least a portion of a personal audio device may include an output and a processing circuit. The output may provide an output signal to a transducer including both a source audio signal for playback to a listener and an anti-noise signal for countering the effect of ambient audio sounds in an acoustic output of the transducer. The processing circuit may implement an adaptive noise cancellation system that generates the anti-noise signal to reduce the presence of the ambient audio sounds heard by the listener by adapting, based on a presence of the source audio signal, a response of the adaptive noise cancellation system to minimize the ambient audio sounds at the acoustic output of the transducer, wherein the adaptive noise cancellation system is configured to adapt both in the presence and the absence of the source audio signal.

Abstract:
An apparatus may include an acoustic transducer, a housing, a microphone, and an acoustical conduit. The acoustic transducer may include a diaphragm having a front and a back, the diaphragm configured to mechanically vibrate in response to an audio signal, thereby producing sound from the front of the diaphragm. The housing may be configured to mechanically support the acoustic transducer such that the front faces an exterior of the housing and the back faces an interior of the housing. The microphone may be disposed in the interior of the housing and may be configured to sense combined sound produced by the acoustic transducer and ambient sound proximate to the acoustic transducer. The acoustical conduit may be coupled to and extend from the microphone and pass adjacent the acoustic transducer such that the microphone senses sound proximate to the front of the diaphragm.
