Abstract
Multi-function apparatuses and methods associated with augmenting an analog audio signal are disclosed herein. In embodiments, a multi-function apparatus for performing a plurality of functions may include a microphone to receive a propagated analog audio signal and ambient noise; a receiver to receive a digitally streamed version of the analog audio signal; a harmonizer, that includes a plurality of processors, to generate a digital adjusted version of the analog signal including noise canceling signal to cancel some or all of the ambient noise, based on the propagated analog audio signal, the ambient noise, and the digitally streamed version of the analog audio signal; and a digital-to-analog converter to convert the digital adjusted version of the analog signal to an analog adjusted version of the analog signal. The analog adjusted version of the analog signal may then be outputted to augment the propagated analog audio signal. Other embodiments may be disclosed or claimed.
