Abstract
A noise-cancelling system includes headset for generating a feedback signal for noise-cancellation in response to sound externally generated from the headset. The noise-cancellation feedback signal can also be described as a noise-cancellation “feed-forward” signal. An encoded microphone signal is generated in response to the first feedback signal. An audio generator can be used to generate a noise-cancellation signal in response to the encoded microphone signal and to generate an electronic audio signal in response to the encoded microphone signal and a first output audio signal. An audio connector is provided to couple the encoded microphone signal from the headset to the audio generator and to couple the first electronic audio signal to the headset.
