Case Study
A student from electrical engineering made
a project of a sound recorder
Part of this project was interesting for our
project.
Helps to define the main components of the
processing part of the system.
Case
Project during industrial training
storing sound taken by a microphone into
a memory
playing it through headphones when
playback mode selected
A/D after Microphone, D/A before speaker
Microprocessor and program in between
Fast processing:
To avoid adding another delay
To ensure a good response time for the system

Conclusion
Engineering design projects Procedure followed.
Noise reduction practically possible using wave superposition.
Difficulties: lower expectation
complete prototype of an active noise reduction system built, including:
Reference microphones to collect noise data.
Signal processing electronic circuits (amplifier, low-pass filter, etc)
Configured data acquisition system (Data acquisition card, PC and software code)
Output signal processing circuit.
Output speaker
Sound level meter to measure noise level at and around the user's location.
