    Abstract: An audio apparatus and an audio providing method thereof are provided. The audio providing method includes receiving an audio signal including a plurality of channels, applying an audio signal having a channel, from among the plurality of channels, giving a sense of elevation to a filter to generate a plurality of virtual audio signals to be respectively output to a plurality of speakers, applying a combination gain value and a delay value to the plurality of virtual audio signals so that the plurality of virtual audio signals respectively output through the plurality of speakers form a sound field having a plane wave, and respectively outputting the plurality of virtual audio signals, to which the combination gain value and the delay value are applied, through the plurality of speakers. The filter processes the audio signal to have a sense of elevation.

    Abstract: When the elevation of the input channel differs from the standard elevation and an elevation rendering parameter corresponding to the standard elevation is used, audio image distortion occurs. A method of rendering audio signals, according to an embodiment of the present invention, reduces the audio image distortion even when the elevation of the input channel differs from the standard elevation, comprises the steps of: receiving a multi-channel signal comprising a plurality of input channels to be converted into a plurality of output channels; obtaining elevation rendering parameters for a height input channel having a standard elevation angle so that each output channel provides an audio image having a sense of elevation; and updating the elevation rendering parameters for a height input channel having a set elevation angle other than the standard elevation angle.

    Abstract: In cases of rendering a multichannel signal such as a 22.2 channel signal as a 5.1 channel signal, a three dimensional (3D) audio signal may be reproduced using a two dimensional (2D) output channel, but rendered audio signals are sensitively affected by a layout of speakers and may cause distortion of a sound image when the layout of arranged speakers is different from a standard layout. The present invention may solve the aforementioned problem of the prior art. The audio signal rendering method for reducing distortion of a sound image even when the layout of the arranged speakers is different from the standard layout, according to one embodiment of the present invention, includes: receiving a multi-channel signal including a plurality of input channels that are to be converted to a plurality of output channels; obtaining deviation information about at least one output channel, from a location of a speaker and a standard location corresponding to each of the plurality of output channels; and modifying a panning gain from a height channel included in the plurality of input channels to the output channel having the deviation information, based on obtained deviation information.
