ABSTRACT:
In an acoustic apparatus, one or more front and rear speakers are provided in a space such as a car compartment. The volume levels of the audio signals output from the speakers are controlled by the volume control unit. Also, the valance between the volume levels of the audio signals from the front speaker and the rear speaker is controlled by the balance control unit. The balance control unit generally controls the balance according to the input by a user. To the front speaker or the rear speaker, an external audio signal can be supplied. When the external audio signal is supplied to one of the front speaker and the second speaker which has not been attenuated by the balance control device and the balance control device attenuates the volume level of said one of the front speaker and the second speaker, the volume level of the audio signal is attenuated. Therefore, the external audio signal becomes easy for the user to hear.
