Abstract
Some embodiments include a throwable microphone system. A throwable microphone system may include: a throwable microphone body; a throwable microphone disposed within the throwable microphone body; a throwable wireless transceiver that receives audio signals from the throwable microphone and wirelessly communicates the audio signals to a remote transceiver and receives a light configuration signal from the remote transceiver; a controller in electrical communication with the throwable microphone and the throwable wireless transceiver that establishes a light configuration state based at least in part on the light configuration signal; and a plurality of lights in electrical communication with the controller, the plurality of lights illuminate based on the light configuration state.
Claims19
A smart microphone system comprising:
- a control microphone subsystem comprising:
- a control microphone;
- a control wireless transmitter that receives control audio signals from the control microphone and configured to wirelessly communicates the control audio signals;
- and
- a button that switches between a control microphone state and a throwable microphone state;
- a throwable microphone subsystem comprising:
- a throwable microphone body;
- a throwable microphone disposed within the throwable microphone body;
- and
- a throwable wireless transmitter that receives throwable audio signals from the throwable microphone and wirelessly communicates the throwable audio signals;
- and
- a smart microphone receiver comprising:
- a wireless receiver that receives the control audio signals from the control wireless transmitter and the throwable audio signals from the throwable transmitter;
- and
- an output that outputs the throwable audio signals when the button is in the throwable microphone state and outputs the control audio signals when the button is in the control microphone state.
A throwable microphone system comprising:
- a throwable microphone body;
- a throwable microphone disposed within the throwable microphone body;
- a throwable wireless transceiver that receives audio signals from the throwable microphone and wirelessly communicates the audio signals to a remote transceiver and receives a light configuration signal from the remote transceiver;
- a controller in electrical communication with the throwable microphone and the throwable wireless transceiver that establishes a light configuration state based at least in part on the light configuration signal;
- and
- a plurality of lights in electrical communication with the controller, the plurality of lights illuminate based on the light configuration state.
A method comprising:
- illuminating a plurality of lights coupled with a throwable microphone with a first color;
- receiving audio signals from a microphone disposed within the throwable microphone;
- transmitting the audio signals to a wireless receiver;
- receiving a microphone mute signal from a controllable microphone;
- receiving an orientation signal from an orientation sensor disposed within the throwable microphone;
- setting the microphone state to mute when the orientation signal indicates the throwable microphone is facing downward;
- setting the microphone state to mute when the microphone mute signal indicates that the throwable microphone should be muted;
- and
- illuminating the plurality of lights coupled with a throwable microphone with a second color when the microphone state is set to mute.
