Abstract

Remote audio information corresponding to remote audio signals are received by a controller from a remote node. A level of transmit attenuation and a level of receive attenuation are generated by the controller using the remote audio information. The local audio signals are attenuated with a transmit attenuator at the level of transmit attenuation for transmission to a remote node. Remote audio signals received from the remote node are attenuated with a receive attenuator at the level of receive attenuation for playback at a local speaker.
