Abstract: An adaptive noise-cancelling headphone including an earcup housing having a driver for outputting sound to a user positioned therein. The headphone further including an active noise control assembly. The active noise control assembly may include an ambient microphone capable of detecting an ambient noise outside of the housing and an error microphone capable of detecting an earcup noise inside of the housing. Based on the detected noise, active noise cancellation within the headphone is either enabled or disabled. The headphone may further include a passive noise control assembly. The passive noise control assembly may include an acoustic valve associated with an acoustic vent formed within the earcup housing. The acoustic valve is capable of being modified between an open configuration to decrease sound attenuation and a closed configuration to increase sound attenuation in response to the detected ambient noise so as to improve an acoustic performance of the earcup.
Abstract translation: 一种自适应噪声消除耳机,包括具有用于向位于其中的用户输出声音的驱动器的耳罩壳体。 耳机还包括有源噪声控制组件。 有源噪声控制组件可以包括能够检测壳体外部的环境噪声的环境麦克风和能够检测壳体内的耳塞噪声的误差麦克风。 基于检测到的噪声,可以启用或禁用耳机内的主动噪声消除。 耳机还可以包括无源噪声控制组件。 被动噪声控制组件可以包括与形成在耳罩外壳内的声学通风口相关联的声学阀。 声门能够在打开构型之间被修改以减少声音衰减和闭合配置,以响应于检测到的环境噪声增加声音衰减,从而提高耳罩的声学性能。
