    摘要: A device and a method for reproducing a multi-channel audio signal with only two speakers preserving the sound field of multi-channel audio reproduction, thereby providing vivid realism to a user (listener). The device for reproducing multi-channel audio to thereby provide vivid realism to a user by using two speakers includes a data restorer to decode a received multi-channel audio signal and to restore the multi-channel audio data of a frequency domain; a directivity preserving processor which has a center channel direction function and a stereo surround channel direction function based on a head related transfer function indicative of the characteristic of the frequency variation due to the head of the user for audio signals of center and stereo surround directions, to mix the center channel audio data and the stereo surround channel audio data multiplied by the direction function with left and right main channel audio data, and to output directivity-preserved left and right main channel audio data to two main channels; and a process domain converter to convert the directivity-preserved left and right main channel audio data into audio data of a time domain.

    摘要: A digital audio recording apparatus for formatting digital audio data and recording formatted data on a digital recording medium, so that digital audio data having a first sampling frequency and other digital audio data having a second sampling frequency being twice the first sampling frequency, can be reproduced in both a reproduction apparatus having an operating frequency, for digital-to-analog converting the first sampling frequency and that having an operating frequency for digital-to-analog converting the second sampling frequency. The digital audio recording apparatus transforms the digital audio data into transformation coefficients in a frequency domain, the transformation coefficients are formatted using one of predetermined recording formats. Corresponding digital audio reproduction apparatus reproduces an analog audio signal from the formatted data, based on an operating frequency for D/A conversion, a formatting method of the formatted data, and a sampling frequency of the audio signal contained in the formatted data.

    摘要: An analog-to-digital (A/D) conversion apparatus using a delta-sigma method performs a magnitude control operation and a filtering operation with respect to a differential signal in a conventional A/D conversion apparatus. The A/D conversion apparatus includes a multiplier for multiplying a differential signal output from a differential circuit, a filter for filtering the differential signal and outputting a filtered data signal, and an adder for adding the signals output from the multiplier and the filter and supplying the added result to a quantizer. The factor used in the multiplier is selected so that the quantization noise generated is smaller than the quantization noise generated in the conventional A/D conversion apparatus. Thus, the A/D conversion apparatus provides a wider bandwidth than the conventional A/D conversion apparatus, since it generates relatively smaller quantization noise with respect to the entire passband. As a result, the A/D conversion apparatus provides good performance appropriate for next-generation audio equipment requiring a higher signal-to-noise ratio. Also, since the A/D conversion apparatus can be realized by modifying the conventional A/D conversion apparatus hardware only slightly, an A/D conversion apparatus having much better performance can be manufactured using substantially the same production process and cost.

    摘要: A digital-to-analog (D/A) conversion apparatus using a delta-sigma method performs an additional gain control operation in addition to a filtering operation with respect to differential data in a conventional D/A conversion apparatus. The D/A conversion apparatus includes a multiplier for multiplying the differential data output from a differentiator contained in a conventional D/A conversion apparatus and outputting the resultant data, a filter for filtering the differential data and outputting the filtered data and an adder for adding the output data of the multiplier and the filter and supplying the added result to a quantizer. The factor used in the multiplier is properly selected so that smaller quantization noise is generated than that added during quantization in the conventional D/A conversion apparatus. Thus, the D/A conversion apparatus can provide a wider signal passband in comparison to the conventional D/A conversion apparatus, since it generates the relatively smaller quantization noise with respect to the entire passband. As a result, the D/A conversion apparatus provides good performance appropriate for a next-generation audio equipment requiring a higher signal-to-noise ratio. Also, since the D/A conversion apparatus can be realized by modifying the conventional D/A conversion apparatus slightly in hardware, a D/A conversion apparatus having much better performance can be manufactured using a substantially same production cost and process.
