Abstract

An audio enhancement technique comprises an audio source. Presets for the input audio sound are provided. The presetted ausio sound is tone adjusted to create a tone adjusted presetted audio. The tone adjusted presetted audio is expanded to create an expanded audio and the expanded audio is outputted for use by user. The presetted audio is subjected to a treatment by one or more modules to improve sound quality. The treatment comprises processing the audio source by the following modules: a low pass filter with dynamic offset; an envelope controlled bandpass filter; a high pass filter; and adding an amount of dynamic synthesized sub bass to the audio. The processed audio signals are combined in a summing mixer with the audio source to create an audio out signal. In one embodiment, the expanding comprises sending audio out to a block that splits, processes and combines the stereo stream into several different versions that are fed into the Stereo Bus A; feeding Stereo Bus A output to a Compare Block that adjusts the amplitude of the original and processed audio by averaging; and feeding the output from the compare block as an stereo output. In one embodiment, the tone adjustment comprises: a first section for adjusting a low frequency tone; a second section for adjusting a mid frequency tone; a third section for adjusting a high frequency tone and mixing the audio outputs processed by the first, second and third sections to produce an output audio sound.

Claims (27)

1 . An audio enhancement technique comprising:

an audio source;

Setting presets for the input audio sound to create a presetted audio sound;

Tone adjusting the presetted audio sound to create a tone adjusted presetted audio;

Expanding the tone adjusted presetted audio to create an expanded audio;

Outputting the expanded audio.

2 . The process of claim 1 , wherein the presetted audio is subjected to a treatment by one or more modules to improve sound quality.

3 . The process of claim 1 , wherein the treatment comprises processing the audio source by the following modules:

a low pass filter with dynamic offset;

an envelope controlled bandpass filter;

a high pass filter; and

adding an amount of dynamic synthesized sub bass to the audio;

combining the processed audio signals in a summing mixer with the audio source to create an audio out signal.

4 . The process of claim 1 , wherein the expanding comprises sending audio out to a block that splits, processes and combines the stereo stream into several different versions that are fed into the Stereo Bus A;

Feeding Stereo Bus A output to a Compare Block that adjusts the amplitude of the original and processed audio by averaging;

Feeding the output from the compare block as an stereo output.

5 . The process of claim 1 , wherein the presetting comprises ten or more presets corresponding to genres of music.

6 . The process of claim 1 , wherein the presetting comprises an auto present that is selected by genre in metadata of playback material.

7 . The process of claim 1 , wherein the presetting comprises a single generic preset that covers all types of music.

8 . The process of claim 1 , wherein the tone adjustment comprises;

A first section for adjusting a low frequency tone;

A second section for adjusting a mid frequency tone;

A third section for adjusting a high frequency tone; and

Mixing the audio outputs processed by the first, second and third sections to produce an output audio sound.

9 . The process of claim 8 , wherein the low frequency tone has a frequency of 100 Hz and a bandwidth of 0.5.

10 . The process of claim 8 , wherein the mid frequency tone has a frequency of 2500 Hz and an adjustable bandwidth.

11 . The process of claim 8 , wherein the high frequency tone has a frequency of 10 KHz and an adjustable bandwidth.
