Description of item(s)/value to others:
Four practical audio applications of digital signal processing (DSP) using the TMS320C5416 DSK. These can also be used as the basis of laboratories.

Equipment Required:
TMS320C5416 DSK
CD player or walkman
Computer loudspeakers
Microphone

Application 1. Template
A template for an audio project. Sets up the 4 LEDs on the TMS320C5416 DSK as a bargraph and the 4 user switches to control the audio processing.

Application 2. Delays and Echo
Simulates the delays experienced in communications networks and the reflection of sound heard in a canyon. Introduces circular buffers and the configuration used for Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filters.

Application 3. Reverberation
Simulates single and multiple reflections of sound from the walls of a room or auditorium. Introduces the configuration used for Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) filters.

Application 4. Electronic Crossover
Divides an audio signal into bass and treble components for driving different loudspeakers using FIR filters. The user switches on the TMS320C5416 DSK select 15 different crossover frequencies between 300 Hz and 12800 Hz.

Uses ring modulation to alter the spectral content of speech and music. Widely used in science-fiction films and television to generate strange voices for aliens.

Application 6. Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) Filters
A collection of high pass, low pass, band pass and band stop filters for audio use. Can be used to boost or cut certain frequency bands from the audio spectrum.

Application 7. Goertzel Algorithm
A special case of the IIR filter used to identify the dual tones generated when the buttons of a touch tone telephone are pressed. Uses a microphone to pick up the sound of the telephone and shows the buttons pressed on the computer screen.
