Playback Based on Number of Listeners

摘要

Systems, methods, and apparatus to process audio signals based on a number of listeners are disclosed. An example implementation involves a playback device processing, via an audio processing component, an audio signal for playback according to a first audio characteristic. While processing the audio signal for playback according to the first audio characteristic, the playback device detects, via a location component, a number of listeners in a listening area. The playback device determines a second audio characteristic based on the detected number of listeners in the listening area, and after determining the second audio characteristic, processes, via the audio processing component, the audio signal for playback according to the second audio characteristic.
