Abstract
A system and method to adjust power levels between interconnected loudspeaker assemblies is described herein, the system comprising: a primary loudspeaker assembly, and at least one secondary loudspeaker assembly interconnected with the primary loudspeaker assembly and adapted to receive an audio signal from the primary loudspeaker assembly; an interconnection verification circuit located in the primary loudspeaker assembly; and a controller located in the primary loudspeaker assembly adapted to receive the status signal from the interconnection verification circuit, wherein the controller comprises—at least one processor communicatively coupled to the interconnection verification circuit; a memory operatively connected to the at least one processor, wherein the memory stores computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to execute a method that comprises: generating an interconnection test signal by the interconnection verification circuit, wherein the interconnection test signal determines if the primary loudspeaker assembly is properly connected to the at least one secondary loudspeaker assembly; generating a connected status signal if the interconnection test signal determines that the primary loudspeaker assembly is properly connected to the at least one secondary loudspeaker assembly; receiving the connected status signal by the controller located in the primary loudspeaker assembly; and generating a first set of command signals by the controller to split power between the primary loudspeaker assembly and the at least one secondary loudspeaker assembly.
