ABSTRACT:
Monaural inputs are accepted for presentation to a pair of speakers. The output sound image from that pair of speakers is such that a listener will perceive that the sound is stereo and that certain sounds come from a non-existent center speaker and that other sounds come from locations beyond the physical boundaries of the two speakers. The system operates to preserve full tone range at both speakers and does not split the sound from a particular instrument between both speakers. The system can be used to provide sound signals to the rear speakers of a multiple speaker system when the sound input to the rear speakers is either monaural or stereo.
