Abstract

A signal processing system includes a level dependent bass management system. The level dependent bass management system utilizes audio input signal level information to apply at least one of multiple, available bass management solutions to generate one or more output signals from the audio input signal. In at least one embodiment, initially the level dependent bass management system boosts components of the audio input signal in the low frequency range by an amount sufficient to at least partially compensate for low frequency attenuation of the first speaker without exceeding one or more acceptable limitations of the signal processing system. If boosting alone cannot completely compensate for low frequency attenuation of the first speaker without exceeding one or more acceptable limitations of the signal processing system, the level dependent bass management system processes the audio input signal using an alternate low frequency management solution.

Description

The bass management that level is relevant
The cross reference of related application
It is the rights and interests of 35 U.S.C. § 119 (e) of the 60/695th, No. 731 U.S. Provisional Application of " bass management that level is correlated with " that the application requires based on the title of submitting on June 30th, 2005.The 60/695th, 731 provisional application comprises exemplary system and method, and it is all in conjunction with therewith as a reference.
Technical field
The present invention relates generally to field of information processing, relates more specifically to be used to provide the system and method for the relevant management of the level of bass signal.
Background technology
Fig. 1 has described example " imperfect " loud speaker and amplitude-frequency response 100 " ideal " loud speaker.The frequency response line 102 of " ideal " loud speaker (" loud speaker ") has the flat frequency response of leap human auditory's (acceptable substantially for from 20Hz to 20kHz) gamut.The frequency response of a few high-end speakers is near the target that obtains flat frequency response 102.But low side to the frequency response of the loud speaker of middle-end does not have near desirable flat response.Comprise that all low sides to the frequency response of the loud speaker of most of reality of the loud speaker of middle-end has departed from flat response in several frequency ranges of human auditory's scope.Frequency response curve 104 has been represented the frequency response of an example (non-ideal speaker).Ideal flat frequency response curve 102 the most tangible departed from almost always at low frequency, and this also is just at the right time the easiest human places of realizing the frequency response of non-flat forms, decay.Most users consciously or the quality of subconsciously estimating loud speaker based on the loudness and the definition of the output of low frequency audio frequency.Louder, the general evaluation of low frequency (" bass ") response more clearly is the loud speaker of sensation " better ".Therefore, the solution of a kind of LF-response of compensate for attenuation (shown in frequency response curve 104) is to improve the gain of low frequency to obtain more flat frequency response.For low level (low-level) input signal, raising is feasible option.But the ability that audio system improves the low level frequency reduces along with the increase of incoming signal level.The typical 20dB/decade frequency response meeting that departs from flat response need improve coefficient to turn back to flat response for 10 gain.Therefore, improve high level signal and can surpass maximum available power at an easy rate.In addition, provide high level signal can cause that circuit unit carries out slicing, can cause that digital-to-analog converter carries out slicing, and can physically damage loud speaker.
Real LF-response needs the driver of big costliness usually, and the home audio of general marketplace is driven by low-cost and organoleptic properties (aesthetics).Therefore, more flat frequency response and low-cost these two targets are intrinsic implacable.
The problem of non-flat forms frequency response even more serious in television set (wherein, loud speaker is common even littler more cheap than the most cheap stand-alone loudspeaker).Owing to need effectively shielding to be generally used for big magnet structure in the woofer driver avoiding the making video image distortion, thereby further hindered the cathode-ray television set to obtain more smooth LF-response.
Adopted multiple solution to compensate the intrinsic relatively poor LF-response of non-ideal speaker.A kind of example solution is a fixed frequency bass management system.Fig. 2 has described the audio system 200 with traditional 5:1 speaker configurations.The 5:1 speaker configurations has six (6) the individual independently audio signal channels that are used to drive six loud speakers.The 5:1 speaker configurations comprises left side main loudspeaker 202, right main speakers 204, left satellite loud speaker 206, right side satellite loudspeakers 208, preceding center loudspeaker 210.Except that other features, the 5:1 loudspeaker arrangement makes the audio frequency design engineer sound origination location can be incorporated in the audio track. Main loudspeaker 202 and 204 and preceding center loudspeaker generally big than satellite loudspeakers 206 and 208.Therefore, main loudspeaker 202 and 204 and the LF-response of preceding loud speaker 210 generally more smooth than satellite loudspeakers 206 and 208 at lower bass frequencies place.The 5:1 loudspeaker arrangement also comprises the low frequency equipment (" LFE ") such as subwoofer (subwoofer bass speaker) 212.Subwoofer 212 is designed to have more desirable response in the 20-100Hz frequency range.Because if being positioned at or being lower than the then most of people of 100Hz, frequency can not pick out the position of sounding, so be positioned at or the audio frequency that is lower than 100Hz is considered to nondirectional.Therefore, for the arrangement of 5:1 loud speaker, the position of subwoofer 212 is unessential.
Audio system 200 also comprises the signal processing system 214 that is provided for driving the sonorific audio drive signals of loud speaker.Signal processing system 214 is (for example) as audio-frequency assembly or comprises television set, digital versatile disc players, video tape recorder (video cassette recorder), stereophonic sound system or the other system of audio-frequency assembly.
Audio system 200 comprises fixed frequency bass management system 216.Bass management is meant filtering, route (routing), reaches the mixing low-frequency content to maximize in the system-level LF-response that makes.For having only two micropkonic stereophonic sound systems, because the irreproducible low-frequency content of route loud speaker nowhere, so bass management is not particularly useful.But in the typical household audio and video system such as audio system 200, bass management systems 216 is from satellite loudspeakers 206 and 208 filtering go out low-frequency content and this low-frequency content is added into each main loudspeaker 202 and 204.By this way, kept expection and supplied with the full content that satellite loudspeakers is used, although be now by coming it is reproduced with the different loud speaker of initial expection.People can not distinguish usually which direction sound comes from because if sound is lower than about 100Hz, if so by satellite loudspeakers 206 and 208 (initial expection) or by main loudspeaker 202 and 204 or reproduce low-frequency content by subwoofer 212, then people can not find difference.Because subwoofer 212 is devoted to reproduce low-frequency sound, so subwoofer 212 provides the single-point (singlepoint) that all low frequencies are routed to.Therefore, satellite loudspeakers 206 and 208 and main loudspeaker 202 and 204 can be littler and more cheap, therefore and do not reach best LF-response at all.
In the setting up procedure of bass management systems 216, selected one or more passing through (cross-over) frequency.Cross-over frequency is a bass management systems 216 with low-frequency audio signal from a loud speaker mixing and/or be routed to the frequency that is more suitable for another loud speaker that low-frequency sound reproduces.Cross-over frequency can be to be used for the grade of listening to of group of some qualifications () fixed value for example, low, standard, height perhaps preferably also can be used as the function of output level and continuous variable.In at least one embodiment, the filter construction of bass management systems 216 and control break filter and do not introduce the interference of not expecting (artifact) (for example, ticktack, thump, zipper noise gets etc.).Current, the bass management in the fixed frequency bass management system 216 is static.That is,, then no longer manage it in case during system's setting, disposed filtering, route, and mixing.No matter be by the artificial executive system setting of user, still by utilize MultEQ such as Yamaha Parametric RoomAcoustic Optimizer (" YPAO "), the Audyssey Labs of Auto Room Tuner (" ART "), the Yamaha of Intelligent Room Calibration (" IRC "), the ADI of Cirrus Logic Inc., and the system of the technology such as AdaptiQ of Bose come automatic executive system setting, this situation all is the same.Cross-over frequency is all fixed for all audio signal levels, and keeps static for signal processing system 214.Because it not all is constant that the frequency response of loud speaker is listened in the grade at all, so this setup is not best.For example, the low-frequency content that can bass management be set to be lower than 100Hz from the left side and right main speakers 202 and 204 be routed to heavy woofer 212.In the grade of listening to of standard, this set may be best, and still along with the increase of volume, less main loudspeaker can begin to make the frequency distortion that is higher than 100Hz.By cross-over frequency being increased to the distortion that 120Hz can prevent this louder volume place, but only being cost in low some loss of directionality of listening to the grade place.
The television signal treatment system has the very little loud speaker that has very little LF-response usually, and it copies (rolling off) frequency up to 200Hz, and does not have subwoofer usually.In these cases, bass management does not comprise any route or mixing, only leaches low-frequency content with the protection loud speaker.Fixing filter frequencies is not desirable, and this is because loud speaker can reproduce lower frequency safely being lower than the higher volume place of listening to grade.
The solution that another kind is used to compensate the intrinsic relatively poor LF-response of non-ideal speaker is psycho-acoustic bass extension (psycho-acoustic bass extension, " PBE ").PBE theory behind is can be by some combinations of the higher frequency harmonics of the low-frequency sound of expectation synthesize and reproducing this harmonic wave rather than reproduction original frequency " cheating " it is believed that they have heard low-frequency sound.Although there be not " material object " so good, the PBE technology surprising effectively.The enforcement of PBE dates back to the low-frequency sound that the wind instrument that utilizes 20Hz and 40Hz before centuries at least in the church substitutes 10Hz.In market, there is several psycho-acoustic bass extension (PBE) algorithm now, for example, at Waves MaxxBass , the Inc.of Santa Ana of the Waves Audio Ltd. that office is arranged of Knoxville, the TN of the SRS Labs of CA and SRS TruBass TM
Although have bass management, the setting that utilizes the audio system of PBE algorithm is static, and this audio system has fixing cross-over frequency or zone, leaches real low frequency in this cross-over frequency or zone and substitutes with synthetic harmonic wave.For quiet, normal, and loud listen to grade and same problem occurs in the different situation of desirable cross-over frequency.

Embodiment
A kind of signal processing system comprises the bass management systems that level is relevant.Therefore, substitute bass management systems is combined with having the fixing solution that is used for all audio input signal level, the bass management systems that this level is correlated with utilizes the audio input signal level information to use in a plurality of feasible bass management solutions at least one to generate one or more output signals from this audio input signal.At first, in at least one embodiment, the bass management systems that this level is relevant is no more than the amount of one or more acceptable restrictions of this signal processing system to be enough to compensate the low cut of first loud speaker at least in part, improve the component of the audio input signal in the low-frequency range.Limit and the low cut of full remuneration first loud speaker if improve one or more acceptables that can not be no more than this signal processing system separately, then the bass management systems that this level is relevant utilizes candidate's low frequency rwan management solution RWAN to come the processing audio input signal.
In at least one embodiment, candidate's bass management solution comprises any following combination: (1) by gain adjust carry out equilibrium, (2) with low frequency signal route to have be better than expect loud speaker LF-response loud speaker, reach (3) applied mental acoustical bass expansion algorithm.
The relevant bass management systems of level is used suitable bass management solution based on known (or estimating at least) characteristic of the level of audio input signal and the loud speaker in the audio system.For example, if audio signal comprises expection and supplies with the low frequency component that loud speaker A uses, and loud speaker A has the frequency response range of uneven, the decay that comprises low frequency component, and then the bass management systems that level is relevant determines whether the audio input signal level is low to moderate is enough to that balanced solution is applied to this low frequency component and improves the gain of this low frequency component to realize the flat frequency response.The gain that the bass management systems that this level is relevant can improve this audio input signal is up to the restriction that reaches this audio system.
As mentioned above, the restriction of this audio system comprises: the ability that surpasses one or more audio system components (for example, power supply, digital-to-analog converter, and amplifier).When the restriction that reaches audio system, the bass management systems that this level is relevant can be selected one or more candidates' bass management solution or one or more candidates' bass management solution is combined with the equalization bass management solution.If the level of audio input signal is initial just too high, then this audio system may not have the ability that improves audio input signal at first, and the relevant bass management systems of level is selected from the non-equalization bass management solution at first.
If the gain of increase audio input signal is impossible or is not enough to frequency response non-flat forms, decay of full remuneration loud speaker A, then the bass management systems (for example) that level is relevant is routed to low frequency component one or more other loud speakers with better LF-response, and/or the sound enhancement techniques that the relevant bass management systems of this level can be used such as the PBE algorithm (for example compensates relatively poor woofer performance, low gain and/or unacceptable frequency response), thus the sound quality of this loud speaker strengthened.The bass management systems that this level is relevant attempts to keep this audio input signal level.Therefore, at least one embodiment, no matter the relevant bass management systems of this level is selected which kind of bass management solution of the combination of a plurality of bass management solutions, it is identical that whole level of this low frequency audio input signal preferably all keep.In addition, when low frequency signal was routed to other loud speakers, the bass management systems that this level is relevant attempted to keep directivity and balance.For example, if route left channel low frequency audio frequency input signal component, then the bass management systems that this level is relevant will preferably be routed to this low-frequency signal components another left speaker keeping direction, and supporting (complimentary) right channel low frequency component is routed to right speaker corresponding to left speaker to keep balance.In at least one embodiment, if can not keep directivity, then this left channel and supporting right channel audio input signal all are routed to the loud speaker (such as subwoofer) with smooth LF-response.
Fig. 3 has described the audio system 300 with the relevant bass management systems 302 of level.With by left side main loudspeaker 304, right main speakers 306, left satellite loud speaker 308, right side satellite loudspeakers 310, preceding center loudspeaker 312, and the 5:1 speaker configurations formed of subwoofer 314 dispose audio system 300.In other embodiments, can with such as 7:1 speaker configurations, four (4) speaker configurations (the 5:1 speaker configurations that for example, does not have center loudspeaker or subwoofer) or any other speaker configurations that only have two (2) speaker configurations that are used for left side and the left side of right speaker and right channel dispose audio system 300.
Audio system 300 also comprises signal processing system 316.This signal processing system 316 expression such as television sets, stereophonic sound system, digital versatile disc players, household audio and video system, and any system of the processing audio system of video tape recorder.Each loud speaker that is generally audio system 300 all distributes a passage, and generally each passage is handled as independent audio input signal.Produce the audio output signal that is used to drive loud speaker for each passage from this audio input signal.Therefore, the audio output signal that is used for passage is the function that is used for the corresponding audio input signal of this passage.The processing of this audio input signal influences corresponding audio output signal, thereby influences the voice output of respective speaker.
The bass management systems 302 that level is correlated with changes audio input signal based on the level of the audio input signal that is used for one or more loud speakers, obtains better sound with the loud speaker by audio system 300 and reproduces.During the low frequency at the level place within audio input signal comprises the decay part of the frequency response that is in loud speaker, the bass management systems 302 that level is relevant is used the bass management solution, according to this bass management solution audio input signal is handled, and generation output signal, the directivity (sound origination) that this output signal (at least in one embodiment) keeps this audio input signal to expect originally, keep channel balance, the signal output level that keeps this audio input signal to expect originally, and the LF-response of generation substantially flat.
Every kind of bass management solution comprises that all the level based on the audio input signal level suitably generates one or more bass frequencies rwan management solution RWANs with the one or more audio output signals that keep audio input signal content intention.The application that is used for the specific bass management solution of processing audio input signal depends on whether the level of this audio input signal and the frequency component of this audio input signal are within the unacceptable frequency response range of loud speaker.At least in one embodiment, the bass management systems that level is relevant comprises and can use separately or three kinds of different bass management solutions that combination in any is used, that is (1) equilibrium of adjusting by gain,, (2) with low frequency signal route to have be better than expect loud speaker LF-response loud speaker, reach (3) applied mental acoustical bass expansion algorithm.
In at least one embodiment, the bass management systems 302 that level is relevant uses the bass management solution based on the frequency response of audio input signal level and expection loud speaker at least so that distortion minimization, and (if possible) keeps sound origination intention (intent) and sound balance.The bass management systems 302 that level is relevant can also utilize the system gain data of audio system 300 to determine more accurately suitable bass management solution.In addition, the bass management systems 302 that level is relevant can partly make the whole peaks level of the generation of audio output signal based on audio input signal, and/or the relevant bass management systems 302 of level can make the generation of audio output signal based on the signal level that is used for characteristic frequency.
When changing audio input signal, the bass management systems 302 that level is relevant utilizes the frequency response of audio input signal level and loud speaker.With reference to figure 4, typical low side is not smooth to the frequency response that the frequency response curve 400 of the loud speaker of middle-end shows loud speaker in the appreciable audiorange of the whole mankind.Frequency response curve is at 300Hz to 2, and is more smooth basically in the frequency range of 000Hz, and 2,000Hz to 20 has less distortion in the frequency range of 000Hz.In the low-frequency range from 0Hz to 200Hz, the frequency response of loud speaker significantly reduces along with the reduction of frequency.In the low-frequency range from 0Hz to 200Hz, as long as be no more than the restriction of audio system, loud speaker just can utilize (for example) equalizer to improve the level of audio output signal, with the gain of recovering damage.For example, typical low side also is the function of audio output signal level to the audio distortions in the loud speaker of middle-end.Therefore, the amount that the audio distortions limiting gain that level is relevant improves is if there is gain to improve the gain that can be used for recovering damage.In addition, the gain that improves output signal can require than available higher power, perhaps may cause making the assembly of audio system 300 overheated.
With reference to figure 5A, Fig. 5 B, and Fig. 5 C (being referred to as " Fig. 5 "), the total harmonic distortion of loud speaker (total harmonic distortion, " THD ") is the function of the frequency of the function of level of the audio input signal that is associated with this loud speaker and this audio input signal.Fig. 5 has described nine (9) to side by side curve.Curve among Fig. 5 is to be used for same loud speaker as the frequency response curve among Fig. 4.Curve 502 and curve 504 both all show first group 12 (12) harmonic waves being used for loud speaker at ten (10) different output level place the harmonic frequency response for sine wave, they are standardized as the frequency response at the fundamental frequency place of 100Hz.Curve 502 and curve 504 are carried out standardization, so that fundamental frequency response is 0dB.Curve 504 has been described the relation curve of the audio output level of THD percentage and loud speaker.THD be defined as all harmonic waves power and account for all harmonic waves add fundamental (fundamental) power and percentage (that is amplitude-normalized).In formula 1, provided the formula that is used for THD:
% THD = 100 × H 2 2 + H 3 2 + . . . + Hn 2 H 1 2 + H 2 2 + H 3 2 + . . . + Hn 2 , - - - [ 1 ]
Wherein, the harmonic response of N harmonic wave of Hn=, the response of H1=fundamental.504 of curves have been considered the 5th the-the 13rd harmonic wave (H5-H13), to describe the beginning of the distortion that causes owing to the loud speaker overload better.When 100Hz, surpass when output level is increased to from frequency response curve 502 and 504 as can be seen ,-during 18dB, the THD of loud speaker increases and reaches maximum THD at the maximum level place of 0dB.Come all frequency curve 505-520 of key-drawing 5 in the mode identical with curve 502 and 504.Therefore, curve 504-520 represents 250Hz or above place ,-THD of level loud speaker was very low when the output of 3dB loud speaker was following.-more than the 3dB, then cause the speaker performance variation owing to sharply increasing THD.But when frequency drops to when being lower than 250Hz, at lower output level place, loud speaker begins degradation.
Fig. 6 has described an embodiment such as the relevant bass management systems 600 of the level of the relevant bass management systems 302 of level.In at least one embodiment, the bass management systems 600 that level is relevant is worked according to the relevant bass management process 700 of the described level of Fig. 7.The bass management systems 600 that level is relevant comprises: control logic circuit 602 is used to be produced as the control signal that audio system 300 provides the relevant bass management of level.In order to provide appropriate control signals, the frequency response and the distortion profile (distortionprofile) of each loud speaker in operation 702 acquisitions or the detection signal treatment system 316 or the loud speaker of selection.In addition, the data that operation 702 can also obtain or other restrictions of detection and audio system 300 are relevant (for example, available horsepower, be used for such as the assembly of Any Digit-analogue converter slicing (clipping) data, reach temperature limitation).Can be from the information acquisition frequency response of (for example) producer, distortion profile, and operation constraint data, and as storage in audio system 300.In another embodiment, signal processing system 316 detects the loud speaker in the audio systems 300, and the loud speaker that will be subjected to 600 influences of the relevant bass management systems of level to those input signals is at least determined frequency response and distortion profile.Can (for example) when the scheduled event when connecing ' leading to ' audio system 300 takes place, finish the loud speaker and definite frequency response and the distortion profile that detect in the audio system 300.

Control logic circuit produces control signal 604 based on the data that comprise the audio input signal level.Level detector 616 detects the level of audio input signal.Preferably, 620 pairs of audio input signals of low pass filter or band pass filter carry out pre-filtering (prefilter), so that the level of the signal after 616 detection filter of level detector.It preferably is the frequency that the frequency of the decay LF-response that can cause loud speaker is passed through with LPF Cutoff (cut-off) frequency configuration.If knownly some frequencies will be removed automatically from speaker output signal, then can use band pass filter, so that control logic circuit is only handled related signal band.In at least one embodiment, level detector 616 detects the average level of the audio input signal in the scheduled time slot.This scheduled time slot can be set to control logic circuit 602 and reserve the bass management that enough response times provide level to be correlated with.Control logic circuit 602 can also using system gain 608 provide better bass management.In at least one embodiment, the volume of system gain 608 expression audio systems 300.In another embodiment, system gain 608 also comprises the amplification of reprocessing arbitrarily.
The bass management systems 600 that level is relevant is handled the audio input signal that is used for each (pre-identified) loud speaker of discerning in advance.In at least one embodiment, Shi Bie loud speaker is to have benefited from the loud speaker of bass management in advance, and/or is used to provide the loud speaker of bass management by the bass management systems 600 that level is correlated with.In one embodiment, the loud speaker of identification is all loud speakers of audio system 300 in advance.Audio input signal signal iExpression is used for the audio input signal level of i loud speaker, and wherein " i " is a member that can have in all set of speakers of discerning in advance of imperfect LF-response.612 couples of audio input signal signal of high pass filter 610 and low pass filter iCarry out filtering.By passing through the cut-off frequency that signal is provided with high pass filter 610 and low pass filter 612.
Pass through the cross-over frequency that the cut-off frequency of signal filter 610 and 612 is set to determine.Control logic circuit determines whether to improve the ability of passing through the signal on the signal and being no more than the random component of audio system 300.If can be with signal signal iBring up on the cross-over frequency, then improve audio input signal according to bass equalizer control signal EQ by equalizer 615.The low frequency that bass equalizer control signal EQ controls this audio input signal (for example, 0-200Hz) improves, and attempts to keep the flat frequency response of i loud speaker.If by improving audio input signal signal iGain can not realize smooth LF-response, then control logic circuit 602 is used another kind of bass management solution, with the flat frequency response of whole expected level of realizing output signal when attempting to keep directivity and balance.Therefore, can (i) utilize the following audio input signal of PBE algorithm 618 enhancing cross-over frequencies and add it to audio input signal, if the woofer (low frequencycapable speaker) that perhaps (ii) can obtain producing the sound that does not have distortion (for example, subwoofer), then the audio input signal that is lower than cross-over frequency can be added into low frequency coding (LFE) input signal.(as shown) in one embodiment, the input signal that is used for woofer (low frequency capable speaker) is the LFE passage that is used for subwoofer.In another embodiment, if the loud speaker with directivity such as left side and right main speakers is available, then the bass management systems 600 that level is relevant can will keep the output signal of the main loudspeaker of directivity to attempt to keep directivity by low frequency signal is added into.Whether switch 614 carries out work according to control signal S1 will use PBE algorithm 618 with control, and whether the signal frequency that perhaps is lower than cross-over frequency will be routed to another loud speaker.Gain g1 and g2 are that much signal that produces to the PBE algorithm and problems that is routed to the signal of LFE loud speaker of gaining are used in design alternative and control.
In addition, the bass management systems 600 that level is relevant is attempted to keep balance in audio system 300.The bass management systems 600 that level is relevant passes through supporting passage (complimentary channel) is used same bass management solution, keeps balance in audio system 300.For example, route left channel low frequency audio frequency input signal component, then the bass management systems that level is relevant preferably is routed to low-frequency signal components another left speaker with the maintenance direction, and just supporting right channel low frequency component is routed to the right speaker corresponding to left speaker.If can not keep directivity, then left channel audio input signal and supporting right channel audio input signal all are routed to the loud speaker (such as subwoofer) with smooth LF-response.
In operation 706, level detector 616 detects audio input signal signal iLevel.In operation 708, control logic circuit utilizes the level of configuration data 606 and detected audio input signal to produce appropriate control signals 604.Configuration data 606 expressions are included in the knowledge among frequency response curve 400 and the frequency curve 502-520.From frequency curve 502-520, can determine the THD and the loud speaker output level of the characteristic frequency of loud speaker.From frequency response curve 400, can determine the gain of the loud speaker in the full audio range.Be used to data, can determine audio input signal level and (choosing wantonly) system gain, unacceptable frequency range from Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, and definite cross-over frequency.For example, if for specified frequency, the audio input signal level that is used for i loud speaker adds that system gain adds that the speaker gain that is used for i loud speaker is within the zone of unacceptable THD, then is arranged on cross-over frequency on the assigned frequency.Preferably cross-over frequency is provided with, so that the loud speaker in the audio system 300 is avoided distortion, keeps directivity and obtained the frequency response of substantially flat.
Table 1 shows the example control signal data EQ that is used for the average peak audio input signal and passes through, and the instance system gain.In first example, total signal gain is-24dB.From curve 504 as can be seen, at the 100Hz place, can utilize equalizer 615 make the 100Hz place total signal gain gain increase+6dB with in the gain of the loud speaker shown in the compensating frequency response curve 400-6dB loss.Because the rapid gain of loud speaker descends and because the beginning of THD, so be positioned at or the frequency response that is lower than the frequency of about 90Hz is unacceptable.Right<90Hz frequency carries out route or the PBE enhancing can influence directivity sharply.In the 3rd example, total signal gain is-18dB.As can be seen from Figure 5, for the frequency below the 150Hz, begin with rapid increase in the beginning of-THD of 18dB place.Therefore, cross-over frequency is set to 150Hz.Frequency response curve 400 shows the flat frequency response for bass frequencies, does not therefore need the bass isostatic compensation.The elaboration of other examples is with reference to same method.Therefore, by utilizing the relevant bass management of level, audio system 300 has been avoided distortion, has kept directivity, and has obtained the frequency response of substantially flat.
Average peak input signal (dBFS) System gain (dB) * Total signal gain (dB) * EQ (dB) Cross-over frequency (Hz) Note
≤-18 -6 -24 + 6@100Hz 90 Because loud speaker handles fully>=and the frequency of 100Hz, thus kept whole directivity.
