Abstract: An acoustic signal processing device includes: a front signal processor which generates first L and R signals by performing signal processing on a first signal which is a front channel signal; a first adder which generates a fourth signal which is a left channel signal by adding the first L signal and a second signal which is a left channel signal; and a second adder which generates a fifth signal which is a right channel signal by adding the first R signal and a third signal which is a right channel signal. The front signal processor generates the first L and R signals by signal processing in which the first signal is distributed and placed at predetermined positions when the first signal is a dialog signal, and distributed and placed at positions different from the predetermined positions when the first signal is not a dialog signal.

Abstract: An audio signal processor includes: a first amplifier that amplifies a first audio content; a mixer that mixes an output signal of the first amplifier and a second audio content; a second amplifier that amplifies an output signal of the mixer; and a setter that sets an amplification amount of the first amplifier. The setter sets an amplification amount in the first amplifier so that the amplification amount in the first amplifier cancels an amplification amount in the second amplifier.
