Patent ID: 7835530

Claim:
A method for determining surround sound from a moving object, comprising the steps of: coupling a plurality of first microphone units with the moving object to capture sounds from around the object, wherein coupling includes arranging the plurality of first microphone units such that one or more of the first microphone units captures sound in a direction perpendicular to forward movement of the moving object; coupling a second, omni-directional microphone unit to a subjective location of the moving object, to omni-directionally capture sound around the subjective location; transmitting signals indicative of the captured sounds to a central receiving station; processing the signals together at the central receiving station, wherein processing comprises: dividing the signals into high frequency signals and low frequency signals; compressing the high and low frequency signals; and adjusting volume for the high and low frequency signals; and transmitting processed information, from the central receiving station, to a communications network, for replaying the surround sound from the moving object to an audience.
