Daisy chaining of tournament audio controllers

摘要

A method and system for daisy chaining tournament audio controllers, where the method comprises, in a headset coupled to a first tournament audio controller (TAC), the first TAC being in a daisy chain of TACs: receiving a chat signal from a previous TAC in the daisy chain of TACs, receiving a microphone signal from a microphone in the headset, summing the chat signal with the microphone signal, communicating the summed signal to a next TAC in the daisy chain, and communicating the chat signal to the headset. The microphone signal may be removed from the summed chat signal and microphone signal by adding a second microphone signal 180 degrees out of phase with the microphone signal. The chat signal may be summed with the microphone signal at an amplitude set by a user of the headset after the removal of the microphone signal.

1. A system for processing audio signals, the system comprising:
a headset operatively coupled to a first tournament audio controller (TAC), said first TAC being in a daisy chain of TACs, said first TAC being operable to:
receive a chat signal from a previous TAC in said daisy chain of TACs;receive a microphone signal from a microphone in said headset;sum said chat signal with said microphone signal;communicate said summed chat signal and microphone signal to a next TAC in said daisy chain if said first TAC is not at an end of said daisy chain of TACs;communicate, utilizing a chat loop switch in said first TAC, a chat signal from a next TAC to said previous TAC in said daisy chain if said first TAC is not at an end of said daisy chain of TACs;communicate, utilizing said chat loop switch, said summed chat signal and microphone signal to said previous TAC if said first TAC is at an end of said daisy chain; andcommunicate said chat signal to said headset.
