Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A system for tuning an audio reproduction device is disclosed. The system includes an audio signal generator for generating an audio signal to be played back in an audio reproduction device and sending the audio signal to the audio reproduction device; a microphone signal module for receiving a microphone signal from a microphone, the microphone signal recording a sound wave reproduced by the audio reproduction device when the audio signal is played back in the audio reproduction device; a comparison module for determining whether the microphone signal matches target sound signature data; and a filter module for applying a digital filter to emulate a target sound signature responsive to determining that the microphone signal does not match the target sound signature data.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising: generating an output signal that can be converted into a sound wave by a headphone; sending the output signal to the headphone; receiving an input signal from a microphone carried by the headphone that represents the sound wave produced by the headphone from the output signal; determining whether the input signal matches a target sound signature by determining whether one or more values for a sound pressure level of the input signa…
