Audio power management system

A method of power management for an audio system comprising:

• receiving a measured actual parameter of an audio signal driving a loudspeaker with a processor;
• retrieving, with the processor, an estimated speaker parameter representative of operational characteristics of the loudspeaker based on the measured actual parameter of the audio signal driving the loudspeaker;
• generating a threshold with the processor in real-time based on the estimated speaker parameter and the measured actual parameter;
• and
• selectively adjusting the audio signal driving the loudspeaker in real-time with the processor based on the generated threshold.

A power management system for an audio system comprising:

• a processor;
• a first threshold comparator executable with the processor to monitor a measured actual parameter of an audio signal in accordance with a first threshold;
• a second threshold comparator executable with the processor to monitor the measured actual parameter in accordance with a second threshold;
• the first threshold comparator further executable with the processor to establish exceedance of the first threshold based on at least one of estimated operational characteristics of a loudspeaker or the measured actual parameter;
• and
• the second threshold comparator further executable with the processor to establish exceedance of the second threshold based on at least one of the estimated operational characteristics of the loudspeaker or the measured actual parameter.
