Abstract
A soundskin for a pad-type device comprises a housing, at least one microphone, a signal processing device, at least one audio transducer, and an acoustic waveguide. The housing receives a pad-type device. The signal processing device receives a signal from a pad-type device when the pad-type device is received by the housing. The signal processing device provides a directive sound enhancement of the audio input signals based on room acoustics, such as reverberation, echo, noise, delay, frequency response, and/or speaker-positional information that is determined by the signal processing device. The audio transducer device generates an audible audio output in response to an audio signal output from the signal processing device. The acoustic waveguide receives the audible audio output and generates an enhanced bass audio output from the acoustic waveguide.
