IN-LINE SIGNAL PROCESSOR

摘要

The present invention provides for a cable which enhances an audio signal between two devices, such as an mp3 player and a speaker system, or a set-top box and home theater system. The cable includes integrated hardware and software elements for processing the signal. In various embodiments the cable may also include a user interface and selectable profiles which adjust the processing scheme for various purposes, such as a profile for environments with high ambient noise, or profiles for certain styles of music.
