Abstract: A method for processing audio data for output to a transducer may include receiving an audio signal, filtering the audio signal with a fixed filter having fixed filter coefficients to generate a filtered audio signal, and outputting the filtered audio signal to the transducer. The fixed filter coefficients of the fixed filter may be tuned by using a psychoacoustic model of the transducer to determine audibility masking thresholds for a plurality of frequency sub-bands, allocating compensation coefficients to the plurality of frequency sub-bands, and fitting the fixed filter coefficients with the compensation coefficients allocated to the plurality of sub-bands.

Abstract: A spectral tilt of an audio signal is used to determine whether a speaker will introduce perceptible distortion during playback of the audio signal. The spectral tilt may be indicated by determining a ratio between energy in a distortion-producing frequency band and energy in a distortion-masking frequency band. Based on the determined spectral tilt, the distortion-producing frequency band may be attenuated to reduce the distortion introduced by the speaker. Additionally, the distortion-masking frequency band may be amplified to reduce perceptibility of the distortion produced by the speaker.

Abstract: Audio distortion by a speaker may be reduced by detecting onset audio events within an audio signal and modifying the audio to reduce the audio distortion perceived by a listener. The onsets may be detected using a psych-acoustic model by determining critical sub-band powers and corresponding masking thresholds. When a loudness value calculated from the CSBs and masking thresholds exceeds a threshold level, certain frequency bands may be attenuated and other frequency bands may be amplified. The audio modification may be performed on a frame-by-frame basis and each frame may be processed multiple times until the onset is sufficiently masked or attenuated.
