ABSTRACT:
A stereo audio processing system for a stereo audio signal processing reproduction that provides improved source imaging and simulation of desired listening environment accoustics while retaining relative independence of listener movement. The system first utilizes a synthetic or artificial head microphone pickup and utilizes the results as inputs to an equalization circuit with the outputs coupled to a cross-talk cancellation compensation circuit utilizing minimum phase filter circuits to adapt the head diffraction compensated signals for use as loudspeaker signals. The system provides for head diffraction compensation including equalization and cross-coupling while permitting listener movement by modifying the cross-talk cancellation and diffraction compensation at frequencies substantially above approximately ten kilohertz while maintaining substantially accurate equalization for the desired incidence angle.
