Abstract
Embodiments described herein provide for acoustic signatures in a playback system. In some embodiments, a playback device includes an audio processing component configured to receive an audio input signal, receive an acoustic signature signal, generate an audio output signal based on the audio input signal and the acoustic signature signal, and output the generated audio output signal. In some embodiments, the acoustic signature identifies at least one of the playback device or a group of playback devices. Some embodiments additionally include the playback device amplifying the generated audio output signal with one or more amplifiers, and playing the generated audio output signal via one or more speakers.

A playback device comprising:
- an audio processing component;
- and
- a tangible non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions executable by the playback device to cause the playback device to perform functions comprising:
- receiving, by the audio processing component, an audio input signal;
- receiving, by the audio processing component, an acoustic signature signal;
- generating, by the audio processing component based on the audio input signal and the acoustic signature signal, an audio output signal;
- and
- outputting, by the audio processing component, the audio output signal.
