Abstract
A method () and system () of sensing the position of an audio accessory () having at least a microphone () can include a sensor (and/or) for detecting one among a plurality of positions of the audio accessory and a processor () programmed to equalize an audio input from the microphone based on which one among the plurality of positions was detected. The sensor can be a thermal sensor, an optical sensor, or a proximity sensor. The audio accessory can be a remote speaker/microphone accessory. Among the plurality of positions that can be detected can include a Mouth Reference Point (MRP) or a Shoulder position. The processor can be further programmed to automatically equalize () a microphone input audio based on one of the plurality of positions detected. The system can also be programmed to automatically equalize () when a push-to-talk activation occurs at the audio accessory.
