Claims36
A transceiver for use with a wireless audio system, comprising:
- a body-wearable body pack or handheld device having an audio subsystem capable of receiving an analog audio signal and converting said signal to a digital signal;
- an in-ear monitoring subsystem having a status, said in-ear monitoring subsystem capable of receiving a digital signal, converting it to an analog signal, and emitting a sound associated with said analog signal;
- a radio associated with said body pack or handheld device for transmitting a digital signal received from said audio subsystem, a transceiver system status, and said in-ear monitoring subsystem status to a base station for at least signal processing, said base station being physically separated from said body pack or handheld device, and for receiving control data, in-ear monitoring signals and in-ear monitoring subsystem control data from said base station;
- and
- means associated with said body pack or handheld device for processing said control data and in-ear monitoring subsystem control data.
