Abstract
A control system provides centralized active noise control (ANC) and active vibration control (AVC) through a digital network. The control system includes a controller, an audio sub-system, and a vibration sub-system. The audio-sub system includes at least one sound monitoring component and at least one sound outputting component. The vibration sub-system includes at least one vibration monitoring component and at least one vibration actuating component. The controller and the sub-systems are interconnected through the digital network. The controller controls the sub-systems through the digital network to perform the ANC and AVC functions in a holistic approach.
