Methods and apparatus to determine automated gain control parameters for an automated gain control protocol

An apparatus comprising:

• at least one memory;
• computer readable instructions;
• and
• processor circuitry to execute the computer readable instruction to:
• cause a first tuner to apply a first gain to an input audio signal to generate a first amplified audio signal;
• and
• cause a second tuner to apply a second gain lower than the first gain to the input audio signal to generate a second amplified audio signal;
• and
• select a range of gains corresponding to the first gain for an automated gain control protocol in response to the first amplified audio signal exhibiting clipping and the second amplified audio signal not exhibiting clipping.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed, cause one or more processors to at least:

• cause a first tuner to apply a first gain to an input audio signal to generate a first amplified audio signal;
• and
• cause a second tuner to apply a second gain lower than the first gain to the input audio signal to generate a second amplified audio signal;
• and
• select a range of gains corresponding to the first gain for an automated gain control protocol in response to the first amplified audio signal exhibiting clipping and the second amplified audio signal not exhibiting clipping.

A method comprising:

• applying, using a first tuner, a first gain to an input audio signal to generate a first amplified audio signal;
• and
• applying, using a second tuner, a second gain lower than the first gain to the input audio signal to generate a second amplified audio signal;
• and
• selecting, by executing an instruction with one or more processor, a range of gains corresponding to the first gain for an automated gain control protocol in response to the first amplified audio signal exhibiting clipping and the second amplified audio signal not exhibiting clipping.
