Abstract:

A method for use with equipment having filters, the method characterized by multiplying a matrix having a specified cut-boost setting of a filter of a graphic equalizer by a correction matrix to create a matrix having a corrected cut-boost setting of the filter of the graphic equalizer; adjusting an actual cut-boost setting of the filter of the graphic equalizer to be substantially equal to the corrected cut-boost setting of the filter of the graphic equalizer; and configuring the filter to have a Q value substantially equal to a linearizing Q value. In addition to the foregoing, other method embodiments are described in the claims, drawings, and text forming a part of the present application. In one or more various embodiments, related systems include but are not limited to circuitry and/or programming for effecting the foregoing-referenced method embodiments; the circuitry and/or programming can be virtually any combination of hardware, software, and/or firmware configured to effect the foregoing-referenced method embodiments depending upon the design choices of the system designer.

Abstract:

A method and system is provided for a digital audio system to reconstruct a digital audio signal using time domain interpolation and direct power digital-to-analog conversion. A signal processor performs the time domain interpolation on an original digital audio signal to allow for the proper recreation of the original audio signal and a direct power output digital-to-analog converter generates an analog power audio output signal from the interpolated digital audio signal that can directly drive a speaker to produce the sound waves represented by the audio output signal. The signal processor and direct power output digital-to-analog converter allow a digital audio system to more precisely reconstruct an analog power output audio signal from a digital audio signal such that there is no need for further amplification of the audio output signal and such that there will be no perceptible difference between the reconstructed digital signal and the original analog signal.
