Abstract
The present device is an audio detection system for detecting irregularities in white noise levels. This system works by first amplifying an audio input signal and determining a baseline. A detecting unit within the system then detects audio levels at, above or below the baseline level and signals a visual output device allowing a user to view this information. In one embodiment, multiple audio detection systems can be used together or combined into a single instrument to determine if irregularities in white noise levels are occurring in a particular place or direction. In another embodiment, the audio detection system can comprise a white noise generator.
Claims20
An audio detection system comprising:
- an audio input device;
- an amplifying unit comprising a potentiometer configured to set a baseline;
- a detecting unit configured to detect audio input above the baseline and audio input below the baseline;
- and
- a visual output device configured to display a baseline and audio input above the baseline and audio input below the baseline.
An audio detection device, comprising:
- a first component comprising a first microphone connected to a first amplifier, the first amplifier outputting a first amplified signal to a first output unit to visually output a sound level, the first amplified signal being controlled by a first potentiometer;
- a second component comprising a first microphone connected to a second amplifier, the second amplifier outputting a second amplified signal to a second output unit to visually output a sound level, the second amplified signal being controlled by a second potentiometer;
- wherein the first microphone and the second microphone are arranged on the device to pick up sound from different directions.
A method to detect audio properties in a room, the method comprising:
- providing a detection device, the detection device comprising:
- an amplifier amplifying an audio signal into an amplified signal;
- a potentiometer controlling a strength of the amplified signal;
- a decoder outputting the amplified signal to an output device;
- activating the detection device;
- adjusting, by a user, the potentiometer so that the output device on the detection device shows a baseline level;
- and
- waiting and observing the output device.
