Title:
ディジタルオーディオプロセッサ
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP4068969
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
The present invention is related to a method for adjusting the frequency characteristic of a digital audio processor having adjustable parameters including at least low frequency gain, high frequency gain and volume gain. The invention is also related to an audio device executing the inventive method every time the characteristic frequency response curve is adjusted. Today's audio devices frequently offer the feature that the user can select among a group of different sound characteristics. Typically the user may want to adapt the sound characteristic of the device to the kind of music he is listening, e.g. rock, jazz, or classic music. In technical terms the sound characteristic is widely determined by the characteristic frequency response curve of the audio signal processing. Those characteristic curves are essentially defined by a gain value in the low, middle and high frequency range. Normally, a 3-band audio processor, which allows adjusting these three parameters independently is used for this purpose. However, 3-band audio processors are relatively more expensive than 2-band audio processors, which allows only adjusting the gain value at the low frequency range and high frequency range. The invention suggests a method how to adjust the volume gain, the low and high frequency gain of a 2-band audio processor to achieve the same features a 3-band audio processor offers.
