    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.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: A digital signal represents a desired amplitude frequency characteristic. A desired transmission characteristic is derived from the desired amplitude frequency characteristic. A sound signal is processed in accordance with the desired transmission characteristic. The processed sound signal is converted by a speaker into corresponding sound. The process of the sound signal corrects and compensates for the original sound pressure frequency characteristic of the speaker and thereby actualizes the desired amplitude frequency characteristic.
