Abstract
A system and method are described herein for gating at least one input to an amplifier, the method comprising: measuring at least one audio analog signal level received by the amplifier at a first input; determining whether the received at least one audio analog signal level is below a predetermined threshold level; and gating the first input such that the received audio analog signal level is ignored in further processing by the amplifier.
Claims13
A method for gating at least one input to an amplifier, the method comprising:
- measuring at least one audio analog signal level received by the amplifier at a first input;
- determining whether the received at least one audio analog signal level is below a predetermined threshold level;
- and
- gating the first input if the received at least one audio analog signal level is below the predetermined threshold, such that the received at least one audio analog signal level is ignored in further processing by the amplifier, or
- enabling the first input if the received at least one audio analog signal level is not below the predetermined threshold, such that the received at least one audio analog signal level is further processed by the amplifier.

An audio processing system, comprising:
- an amplifier;
- a loudspeaker operatively connected to the amplifier;
- a digital signal processor (DSP) operatively connected to the amplifier;
- at least one processor that is part of the DSP;
- a memory operatively connected with the at least one processor, wherein the memory stores computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to execute a method that comprises:
- measuring, by the DSP, at least one audio analog signal level received by the amplifier at a first input;
- determining whether the received at least one audio analog signal level is below a predetermined threshold level;
- and
- gating the first input if the received at least one audio analog signal level is below the predetermined threshold, such that the received at least one audio analog signal level is ignored in further processing by the amplifier, or
- enabling the first input if the received at least one audio analog signal level is not below the predetermined threshold, such that the received at least one audio analog signal level is further processed by the amplifier.
