Abstract
A system and method for organizing incoming data from audio sources and vehicle system inputs into one or more matrices to hierarchically prioritize the incoming data into one or more of a low priority mixer, a medium priority mixer and a high priority mixer. The hierarchically organized incoming data is prioritized and assigned as an input or a trigger to one or more duckers to generate a mixed audio signal that combines attenuated and ducked incoming data. A mixed audio signal is transmitted over a communication link for playback by a personal audio device.
