A method and a system for improving the low-frequency sound reproduction of an audio signal, the sound reproduction being performed by an audio system comprising at least one loudspeaker. The system includes a low-frequency sound enhancement module with filters for separating an input audio signal into a high-frequency signal and a low-frequency signal. The system is configured to implement a first audio processing of the low-frequency signal to obtain a low-frequency output signal and a second audio processing of the high-frequency signal to obtain a high-frequency output signal. The low-frequency sound enhancement module includes, for the first processing of the low-frequency signal, a module for increasing the dynamic range of the low-frequency signal, which is parameterised as a function of at least one transient part of the low-frequency signal.

Method and system for improving the restitution of low frequencies of an audio signal

A device for reducing crosstalk in an audio system that has first and second pairs of loudspeakers and first and second audio sources. The device is connected to each audio source and to at least the first pair of loudspeakers. The device includes a module for acquiring first audio signals from the first source and second audio signals from the second source, a module for determining crosstalk reduction filters resulting from a loudspeaker of the second pair, a module for calculating corrective signals, by applying the reduction filters to the second audio signals, and a module for generating corrected audio signals for the first pair, obtained from the first audio signals and corrective signals. Each reduction filter is obtained from transfer functions, each representing an acoustic path between a loudspeaker and a user's ear.

Electronic device and method for reducing crosstalk, related audio system for seat headrests and computer program

An audio processing method and system for a seat headrest audio system, the audio system including at least two speakers positioned on opposite sides of the headrest, the method including detecting a position of the user's head and adjusting a first set of parameters of at least one audio processing operation as a function of that position. The method includes determining a user characteristic and/or temporary state of the user, selecting an audio settings profile related to that characteristic, the audio settings profile including a second set of prerecorded audio profile parameters, and adjusting a third set of audio parameters effectively applied to control the audio rendering of each speaker, based on the first and second sets of parameters.

Audio processing method and system for a seat headrest audio system

An audio system for a seat headrest includes N speaker(s), each configured to be integrated into a seat headrest, N being an integer greater than or equal to 1, and an audio processing device including an electronic transmission channel connected to the speaker(s) and configured to transmit at least one audio stream via the speaker(s). The audio system comprises P microphone(s), each configured to be integrated into the headrest, P being an integer greater than or equal to 1. The audio processing device further includes an electronic receiving channel connected to the microphone(s) and configured to receive at least one sound signal via the P microphone(s).

Audio system for headrest with integrated microphone(s), related headrest and vehicle

An audio system for a headrest having a set of R right speaker(s), a set of L left speaker(s), and an electronic chain configured to emit a sound signal from at least a right input signal and a left input signal. The electronic chain includes a separating module configured to obtain, from the right input signal and the left input signal (L), at least four mono audio components, and a sound spatialization module configured to apply, to each mono audio component delivered by the separating module, a binaural filter previously selected from the plurality of binaural filters, and dedicated to the audio component, producing a sound whose source position is associated with the previously selected binaural filter.

Autonomous audio system for seat headrest, seat headrest and associated vehicle

A method for processing a multichannel audio signal includes: obtaining at least one group of signals associated with a pair of channels comprising a left side signal, a left central signal, a right central signal and a right side signal determined from the left input signal and the right input signal; and performing differentiated sound stage filtering for the central signals on the one hand, and the side signals of each group of signals on the other hand, the differentiated sound stage filtering including the application, for each group of signals, of the central sound stage filter to the left central signal and to the right central signal of the group of signals.
