Abstract
A digital signal processing automotive audio system uses an analog audio source providing stereo output signals. One of the stereo signals is mixed to a distinct frequency band and summed with the other stereo signal to form a composite signal which can be digitized in a single analog-to-digital converter. Separate digital stereo signals are recovered using digital signal processing.
