The apparatus of the invention calculates filter coefficients for controlling sound field and sound image, based on a plurality of first impulse response signals and a pair of second impulse response signals. The plurality of first impulse response signals indicate impulse responses from loudspeakers reproducing audio signals to both ears of a listener. The pair of second impulse response signals indicate impulse responses from a reference loudspeaker at a position at which a sound image is localized to both ears of the listener. The apparatus includes: a feature extracting section for receiving the pair of second impulse response signals, for extracting parameters representing features of the pair of second impulse response signals, and for outputting parameter signals; a signal adjusting section for adjusting at least one of the plurality of first impulse response signals based on the parameter signals, and for outputting a pair of third impulse response signals having the same features as the extracted features; and a coefficient calculating section for calculating the filter coefficients for controlling the sound field and sound image, based on the plurality of first impulse response signals and the pair of third impulse response signals applied from the signal adjusting means.

A sound signal picked-up by a microphone is processed in a howl suppresser including a digital filter. A frequency analyzer performs frequency analysis of the picked-up sound signal. A howl detector detects a howl contained in the sound signal from a result of frequency analysis by the frequency analyzer. A coefficient calculator calculates coefficients to be input to the digital filter to suppress the howl according to a detection result by the howl detector, and a controller inputs the calculated coefficients to the digital filter. The howl detector judges that a maximum peak power level among power levels of the sound signal in a frequency region analyzed by the frequency analyzer is a howl component when a ratio of the maximum peak power level to a mean power level of the sound signal is larger than a predetermined threshold level, preferably for a predetermined threshold time. Also, a threshold controller is provided for controlling the threshold level and/or the threshold time so as to enhance the accuracy of the howl detection.

A sound field is generated responsive to direct sound picked up by a direct-sound collecting microphone and indirect-sound picked up by an indirect-sound collecting microphone. Respective processing circuits are provided for signal processing the sound signals of the direct-sound collecting microphone and the indirect-sound collecting microphone. An adaptive filter is provided having a transfer function equal to a transfer function from a reproducing speaker to the indirect-sound collecting microphone. The output of the signal processing circuit associated with the indirect-sound collecting microphone is filtered by the adaptive filter, and the output of the adaptive filter is subtracted from the output of the indirect-sound collecting microphone. The output of the subtractor is then applied to the signal processing circuit associated with the indirect-sound collecting microphone for signal processing. The transfer function is initially set in the adaptive filter by applying an output of a signal generator thereto.

In the process of forming the effect sound for reproducing a sound field, a down-sampling part for reducing the sampling frequency of the digital signal is disposed before the step of the digital operation which becomes the central part of the forming process, by which a large amount of operation processing is carried out at a low sampling rate. With respect to the direct sound, processing such as gain adjustment is carried out without decreasing the sampling frequency. This results in a sound field control system which permits one to realize a higher quality and natural sound field control effect without significantly increasing the amount of hardware needed.

An AV system includes a camera-equipped loudspeaker provided with a camera. The camera is united with a loudspeaker body, and captures an image in a direction in which the loudspeaker body outputs a sound. The recognition unit recognizes a location of a listener from an image of the camera, and detects an orientation of the loudspeaker body relative to the listener. The sound control unit performs signal processing on a given sound signal for generating an output signal, and outputs the output signal as an acoustic signal to the loudspeaker body.
