Method and system for optimizing the low-frequency sound rendition of an audio signal

Abstract

A system and method for optimizing the low-frequency sound rendition of an audio signal, implementing variations in a plurality of parameters of the audio signal according to the volume level of the signal chosen by a user, in particular filtering or compression parameters, or parameters relating to the harmonics of the audio signal, while seeking to optimize the dynamics and the bandwidth of the audio signal according to the volume, in order to provide an optimal rendition to the user.
