Patent ID: 8050312

Claim:
A multi-source wireless communication system comprising: a source provider that provides a signal which is separated into a first signal transmitted along a first signal path and a second signal transmitted along a second signal path, wherein said first and second signals correspond to one another; a transmitter in communication with said source provider, wherein said transmitter receives of said first and second signals; a radio including a receiver in communication with said transmitter through a wireless network, wherein said receiver receives of said first and second signals transmitted by said transmitter; a summing device in communication with said receiver, wherein said summing device combines said first and second signals received by said receiver; and a plurality of delay devices including at least a first delay device and a second delay device, wherein said first delay device is in communication between said source provider and said transmitter and delays said first signal, and said second delay device is in communication between said receiver and said summing device and delays said second signal, said radio including a switch manually operable by a user of said radio to selectively form a bypass around one of said delay devices, whereby said switch is manually selectively operable between a closed position wherein a single, non-delayed signal path is established between the transmitter and receiver, and an open position wherein both said signal paths are established between the transmitter and receiver and are combined within the receiver, wherein said plurality of delay devices delay said first and second signals in a substantially equal amount of time, such that an output received by a user based upon said first and second signals is delayed.
