Abstract
A noise cancelling speaker system that may include one or more noise cancelling speakers. The speakers may or may not include a lighting fixture. The speaker system may be mounted to or integrated into the floor or a tabletop fixture (i.e., table lamp). Alternatively, the speaker system may be suspended or built into a ceiling or support or mounted to a wall or other furniture (ceiling lamp). The system may be designed to cancel out noise, play music, or play announcements. In system may also provide lighting. The system may be in communication with external microphones and may be controlled using a control interface, such as a remote control.
Claims15
A noise cancelling system, comprising:
- a first noise cancelling speaker;
- and
- a second noise cancelling speaker;
- wherein said first noise cancelling speaker comprises:
- at least one first loudspeaker;
- at least one first microphone, which is configured to sense and measure a first ambient noise;
- a first active noise cancelling module, which is in communication with said at least one first loudspeaker and said at least one first microphone;
- at least one first adjustable loudspeaker base;
- and at least one first adjustable microphone base;
- wherein said first active noise cancelling module is configured to process said first ambient noise to create a first negative output audio;
- wherein said first negative output audio is configured to be projected from said at least one first loudspeaker;
- wherein said first negative output audio, when projected from said at least one first loudspeaker, destructively interferes with said first ambient noise;
- wherein said at least one first loudspeaker is mounted on said at least one first adjustable loudspeaker base;
- wherein said at least one first microphone is mounted on said at least one first adjustable microphone base;
- wherein said at least one first adjustable loudspeaker base is configured to be adjustable to adjust an angle of said at least one first loudspeaker, which adjusts said first negative output audio, such that said first negative output audio is configured to destructively interfere with said first ambient noise;
- and
- wherein said at least one first adjustable microphone base is configured to adjust an angle of said at least one first microphone to more accurately sense and measure said first ambient noise;
- wherein said second noise cancelling speaker comprises:
- at least one second loudspeaker;
- at least one second microphone, which is configured to sense and measure a second ambient noise;
- a second active noise cancelling module, which is in communication with said at least one second loudspeaker and said at least one second microphone;
- at least one second adjustable loudspeaker base;
- and at least one second adjustable microphone base;
- wherein said second active noise cancelling module is configured to process said second ambient noise to create a second negative output audio;
- wherein said second negative output audio is configured to be projected from said at least one second loudspeaker;
- wherein said at least one second loudspeaker is mounted on said at least one second adjustable loudspeaker base;
- wherein said at least one second adjustable loudspeaker base is configured to be adjustable so as to adjust an angle of said at least one second loudspeaker, which adjusts said second negative output audio, such that said second negative output audio is configured to destructively interfere with said second ambient noise;
- and
- wherein said at least one second adjustable microphone base is configured to adjust an angle of said at least one second microphone to more accurately sense and measure said second ambient noise.
