In at least one embodiment, a feedback amplifier is provided. The amplifier includes an input stage circuit (206) and a collector element (208). The input stage circuit (206) is configured to receive at least one input feedback signal having wide band frequency components that include high frequency components and low frequency components. The input stage circuit (206) includes a first gain stage (220), a filter, and a second gain stage (222). The first gain stage (220) amplifies the at least one input feedback signal to generate at least one amplified output signal. The filter filters the wide band frequency components on the at least one input feedback signal to generate at least one filtered feedback signal having a first low frequency component. The second gain stage (222) amplifies the at least one filtered feedback signal having the first low frequency component and to provide at least one gain output signal.

Provided are a device for generating a star-sparkling lighting effect and a method thereof. The method includes arranging at least one multi-color light source (110) to emit multiple lights (112, 114, 116) of at least two colors, and arranging at least one light-guiding lens (130) in front of the multi-color light source, such that the multiple lights are mixed into mixed-color lights in a diffuse lens portion (150) of the light-guiding lens, and then the mixed-color lights are divergently emitted to a front grille panel (140) via a reflective lens portion (160), and through gaps in the front grille panel, a star-sparkling lighting effect is generated.

A shield assembly arranged around an acoustic sensor may include an outer shell extending from an outer apex to a base and forming a dome-shape, the outer shell defining at least one perforation to allow air to flow therethrough, and an inner shell extending from an inner apex to the base inside of the outer shell, the inner shell creating a channel between the outer shell, inner shell, and base to receive airflow at the at least one perforation, wherein the at least one perforation and channel redirect air to protect a microphone arranged within the inner shell from external airflow and preserving sound pressure measurement integrity.

A loudspeaker includes a speaker enclosure, first and second speaker drivers housed within the speaker enclosure, and first and second acoustic transmission lines housed within the speaker enclosure. The first and second acoustic transmission lines are respectively associated with the first and second speaker drivers and are a conjoined pair of acoustic transmission lines. The loudspeaker may be arranged within a structure of an assembly. The assembly may be a vehicle seat with the structure being a head rest or an upper portion of the vehicle seat.

Various embodiments disclose techniques for generating one or more sound zones and a quiet zone in a listening environment. The techniques include configuring one or more filters of a filter bank, generating a respective speaker signal for each of one or more speakers by processing a respective audio zone signal for each of one or more sound zones using the filter bank, and outputting the respective speaker signals using the one or more speakers. Sound output by the one or more speakers propagates through a listening environment to generate respective sound in each of the one or more sound zones corresponding to the respective audio zone signal for that sound zone. The sound output by the one or more speakers propagates through the listening environment to generate a first quiet zone.

A data processing method and a control device are provided. The method of the present disclosure is directed to a loudspeaker system including a plurality of loudspeakers. By collecting locally measured distance information from respective loudspeakers and determining a real-time spatial layout of the loudspeaker system based on the distance information, automatic layout calibration of the loudspeaker system is achieved. Subsequently, according to the layout of the loudspeaker system, and in combination with an actual orientation of a user and spatial position-related data indicative of a position of a sound source in audio content to be played, corresponding data in the audio content is assigned to corresponding loudspeakers, thereby utilizing playback by the respective loudspeakers to collectively achieve spatial audio rendering, providing an immersive sound experience for the user. The method of the present disclosure does not require additional layout calibration processing, and thus can achieve real-time layout determination without user awareness and can automatically adjust audio playback of the loudspeakers according to changes in the real-time orientation of the user, thereby achieving user orientation-adaptive spatial audio rendering.

Methods and systems for configuring an acoustic device network are provided. In one example, a method comprises: connecting a first device (e.g., a mobile device with audio control software) and a second device (e.g., a primary audio device) to a network; transmitting a first audio signal with a third device (e.g., a secondary audio device), wherein the first audio signal is encoded with a network address of the third device. This first audio signal may be detected and the network address decoded on the second device; the second device may transmit a connection request to the first device; in response to a confirmation of connection received by the first device, a second audio signal may be transmitted with the second device, wherein the second audio signal is encoded with network credentials of the network; this second audio signal may be detected and the network credentials decoded with the third device.

Provided are an audio peak limiting system and method, which, by setting a moving maximum window to drive gain calculation, and in combination with matching a moving maximum window length to a delay duration of an audio input signal, suppress a risk of overshoot while enabling a user to flexibly adjust a suitable attack time, and result in a smoother gain curve and reduce distortion in dynamic range processing, thereby achieving a more natural auditory perception.
