Ambient And Direct Surround Sound System

View page
US Patent:
20060165247, Jul 27, 2006
Filed:
Jan 24, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/339163
Inventors:
Warren Mansfield - San Rafael CA, US
Steve Martz - San Rafael CA, US
Andrew Poulain - San Rafael CA, US
Michael Rudd - San Rafael CA, US
Mark Tuffy - San Rafael CA, US
Jerry Zernicke - San Rafael CA, US
International Classification:
H04R 5/02
H04R 5/00
US Classification:
381307000, 381019000, 381300000
Abstract:
Sound reproduction according to the present disclosure integrates an additional sound field, direct surround sound, to existing diffuse or ambient surround sound systems. Direct surround sound permits point source sounds to be located in an ambient or diffuse surround field and or to be moved within the surround field with control of the sound timbre. Sound mixing equipment may include two or more direct surround channels to permit sound designers and engineers to add, locate and move point source sounds within the surround field. The inclusion of two or more point source loudspeakers improves the surround array by providing direct sources that may be localizable and timbre matched to the screen channel speakers. This in turn provides filmmakers and other content creators a new tool they can use during the creation of content such as movie soundtracks. In another aspect of the present disclosure, a hybrid speaker may receive diffuse surround sound input and direct surround sound input and reproduce both sound fields from a single apparatus.

International Classification:
H04R 5/04
H02M 1/32
H03F 3/68
H03G 3/00
H03G 3/30
Abstract:
An integrated cinema amplifier comprises a power supply stage that distributes power over a plurality of channels for rendering immersive audio content in a surround sound listening environment. The amplifier automatically detects maximum and net power availability and requirements based on audio content by decoding audio metadata and dynamically adjusts gains to each channel or sets of channels based on content and operational/environmental conditions. A power supply stage provides power to drive a plurality of channels corresponding to speaker feeds to a plurality of speakers. The amplifier has a front panel having an LED array with each LED associated with a respective channel or group of channels of the multi-channel amplifier, and a control unit configured to light the LEDs according to display patterns based on operating status or error conditions of the amplifier.
