Abstract:
A device for audio leveling and sound enhancement to overcome the lower sounding level than an audio video transmission. The device is interposed at source, such an HDMI cable and a device that can reproduce the enhanced sound such as a television, computer monitor and the like. If the device includes an audio leveler and a pc board or chip having the requisite circuitry and/or software for enhancing the sound and which is in electrical communication with the audio leveler. The housing includes an input port for receiving the initial audio signal and an output port which connects to a audio reproducing device after the inputted signal has been processed.

Claim (Index 7):
A method for leveling and enhancing the audio portion of an audio-visual signal, comprising:\n (a) reducing the volume of the audio signal; (b) duplicating the audio signal to provide at least one exact copy of the audio signal, the audio signal defining a first signal layer, the exact copy defining a secondary signal layer [at least one equivalent secondary signal of the original recording]; (c) separating the original audio signal and the equivalent secondary signal, each as a whole, into two separate identical signal layers; (d) reducing the amplitude in each of the signal layers; (e) synchronously processing the identical signal layers by;\n (i) sequentially processing each of the signal layers with at least two pieces of equipment selected from the group consisting of a limiter, an expander, a compressor, and an equalizer, one of the signal layers being processed within a first range of frequencies and the other signal layer within a different range of frequencies; and \n (ii) reducing the volume of each of the signal layers as a whole when each signal layer is transmitted from one of the above pieces of equipment to another of the above pieces of equipment; \n (f) merging the processed signal layers at an equalizer; (g) processing together simultaneously the merged signal layers through at least a limiter and a master fader and then outputted, and wherein the time for processing each of the signal layers is the same.
