Abstract

A method of processing audio information for broadcast to an audience can include changing first audio information from occurring in a first time interval to occurring in a second time interval to provide time-changed audio information. The time-changed audio information can be combined with second audio information that is responsive to the first audio information to provide broadcast audio information.

Claims (6)

1. An electronic communication device for processing audio information broadcast to an audience, the device comprising:

a processor circuit configured to change first audio information from occurring in a first time interval to occurring in a second time interval to provide time-changed audio information; and

a combiner circuit configured to combine the time-changed audio information with second audio information that is responsive to the first audio information to provide broadcast audio information wherein a difference between the first time interval and the second time interval is based on a delay between a transmission time at which the first audio information is transmitted from a source to a destination and a reception time at which the first audio information is received at the destination.

2. An electronic communication device for processing audio information broadcast to an audience, the device comprising:

a processor circuit configured to change first audio information from occurring in a first time interval to occurring in a second time interval to provide time-changed audio information; and

a combiner circuit configured to combine the time-changed audio information with second audio information that is responsive to the first audio information to provide broadcast audio information wherein a difference between the first time interval and the second time interval is based on a delay between a transmission time at which the second audio information is transmitted from a source to a destination and a reception time at which the second audio information is received at the destination.
