AudioWeightingFract32

Overview

Standard audio weighting filters

Discussion

Implements standard weighting filters used in audio. The module operates on multiple channels and internally uses a BiquadCascade modoule. The .weightingType variable specifies what type of filter is implemented. Allowable values are:

0 = Flat

1 = A weighting

2 = B weighting

3 = C weighting

4 = D weighting

5 = ITU468

6 = LeqM

7 = ITU1770

When changing filter types, the audio output is muted, the filter's state variables are set to zero and then the coefficients are updated. Once the coefficients are changed, the audio is unmuted.

Type Definition

CODE

typedef struct _ModuleAudioWeightingFract32
{
    ModuleInstanceDescriptor instance;            // Common Audio Weaver module instance structure
    INT32 weightingType;                          // Selects weighting type
    INT32 numStages;                              // Number of stages in the IIR filter
    FLOAT32* coeffs;                              // Array of precomputed filter coefficients for the specified sampling rate
    awe_modBiquadCascadeFract32Instance *filt; // Cascade of second order Biquad filters
    awe_modMuteUnmuteFract32Instance *mute; // Multichannel smooth mute
} ModuleAudioWeightingFract32Class;

MATLAB Usage

File Name: weighting_fract32_module.m

CODE

 SYS = weighting_fract32_module(NAME)
 Creates a module which implements standard audio frequency weightings:
 A, B, C, D, ITU 468, and Leq M.  Arguments:
    NAME - name of the module.
 The module stores all of the various filter coefficients in an internal
 array and you can switch between filter types at run-time.  Internally,
 the module uses a Biquad cascade together with a mute/unmute module to 
 hide switching transients.
