    摘要: A sound field controller for generating apparent sound sources by adjusting the amplitude and delay time of a sound signal so that the sound will be perceived by plural listeners as sound coming from a location separated from the specific location of the front speakers, and for additionally controlling the effect of the apparent sound sources by evaluating the attributes of the source sound signal. The controller includes FIR filters for generating a left sound pattern signal, FIR filters for generating a right sound pattern signal, a first delay circuit for delaying the left and right sound pattern signals by a first predetermined time and applying the delayed left and right sound pattern signals to the left and right speakers, respectively, to introduce an apparent sound source located left rear of a center listener; and a second delay circuit for delaying the left and right sound pattern signals by a second predetermined time and applying the delayed left and right sound pattern signals to the right and left speakers, respectively, to introduce an apparent sound source located right rear of a center listener.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: A sound field switcher inputs an output sound field signal from a sound field producer. The inputted sound field signal is delayed sequentially by plural delayers, after which they are multiplied by coefficients by plural multipliers, and the multiplied results are all added by an adder. Coefficients stored in an area of a memory indicated by a coefficient counter are read out and set to the plural multipliers. The sound field switcher carries out control of the timing for switching the sound field signal produced by the sound field producer and the timing for the coefficient counter to commence counting. Assuming the time required for switching the sound field to be N sampling periods, in case of carrying out a sound field switching from a sound field A to a sound field B, a sound field switching controller issues an order to the coefficient counter so as to count up one by one from 0 to N, and on each count the coefficients stored in an area of the coefficient memory is set to the multipliers. When the count value of the coefficient counter comes to (N/2) or nearest to (N/2), the sound field switching controller issues an order to the sound field producer to output the sound field signal of the sound field B. When the count value of the coefficient counter comes to N, the switching from the sound field A to the sound field B is completed.
