Abstract:
Disclosed are systems and methods for processing an audio signal on a stereo audio device. Left and right audio signals are encoded as mid and side channel signals by taking the sum and difference of the left and right audio signals, respectively. The side channel is outputted to a first signal pathway that features a dynamic range compressor. The mid channel is outputted to a second signal pathway which is then spectrally decomposed into a plurality of sub-band signals using one or more bandpass filters. Each sub-band signal is then provided to a dynamic range compressor, compressed and outputted to a gain stage. Subsequently, each compressed sub-band signal is outputted from the gain stage and recombined. The outputs of the first and second signal pathways are then recombined and decoded in order to produce left and right audio signals. The left and right audio signals are then outputted.

Claim (Index 17):
The device of  claim 15 , further comprising instructions which when executed cause the at least one processor to perform wet/dry mixing of the mid channel by:\n transmitting the mid channel to a second dry signal pathway; and combining an unprocessed output from the second dry signal pathway with the processed output from the second signal pathway at a pre-defined ratio to thereby generate the second signal pathway output for recombination with the first signal pathway output.
