ABSTRACT:
It is an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus for localizing a sound image capable of achieving so called "surround-effect" sufficiently with a simple structure while maintaining a sufficient width of a frontal sound field. Both surround left and surround right signals SL, SR are supplied to a sideward localizer 12 for localizing the sound image reproduced by the signals to positions of sideward of a listener. Also, front left and front right signals FL, FR are supplied to the sideward localizer 12. In this way, the sound image reproduced by the signals is localized at positions between speakers arranged in front side and sidewards of the listener, so that a sufficient width of frontal sound field can be maintained eventually.
