Abstract:
Techniques described herein may involve dynamically adjusting the equalization of multiple speakers in a playback device. An example implementation involves a playback device emitting, via a first speaker, a first audio signal and emitting, via a second speaker, a second audio signal. The playback device may detect, via a microphone, an audio signal representing (i) at least a portion of the first audio signal and (ii) at least a portion of the second audio signal. The implementation may further involve the playback device determining one or more reflection characteristics based on the detected audio signal. The example implementation may also involve identifying a first audio setting and a second audio setting based on one or more reflection characteristics and applying (i) the first audio setting to playback of media content via the first speaker and (ii) the second audio setting to playback of media content via the second speaker.

Claim (Index 21):
A playback device comprising:\n a housing; a transducer in the housing; a microphone in the housing; a processor; and memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the playback device to perform functions for dynamically adjusting audio played back via the playback device in an operating environment, the functions comprising:\n recording, via the microphone, audio data, wherein the recording the audio data comprises recording (i) data indicative of sound emitted via the transducer and (ii) data indicative of a reflection of the emitted sound; \n determining, in the recorded audio data, a feature of the operating environment based on the recorded audio data; \n identifying a first audio setting corresponding to the determined feature of the operating environment; and \n applying the first audio setting to playback of media content via the transducer.
