ABSTRACT:
A method and an apparatus for processing audio signals with a directional emphasis by providing other channels besides the left and the right channels. An audio signal processing apparatus is divided into two blocks: a first block for processing digital signals of the left channel and the right channel supplied at each predetermined sampling period and outputting the signals of the left channel, right channel, and other channels which are amplified or decreased to a certain level; and a second block for detecting the level difference between the left channel signal and the right channel signal, and the level difference between the sum and the difference between the channel signals, and generating coefficients for adjusting the amplifying rate of the channels. The result is that the number of bits required for the signal processing can be reduced.
