Abstract
A method and device for normalizing the power of an electrical signal, referred to as an original sound signal S1. The method detects the envelope of the original sound signal S1 and compares the power value of the envelope signal S2 with a threshold value K1. The gain signal S3 is calculated in accordance with the comparison and smoothed to obtain a smoothed gain signal S4. The original sound signal S1 is delayed by a delay T. The smoothed gain signal S4 is applied to the delayed original sound signal S1 to obtain a normalized sound signal S5. The method is suitable for a source including a plurality of channels.
