ABSTRACT:
On the basis of localization control data, a sound image localization controlling circuit reproduces input audio signals via a plurality of speakers after having applied predetermined delay-involving signal processing to the audio signals, to thereby perform sound image localization processing to localize sound images of direct sounds in a desired range including an area outside a space surrounded by the speakers. The audio signals are also supplied to a sound field controlling circuit after having been delayed by a predetermined time. The sound field controlling circuit performs operations to convolute the audio signals with reflected sound parameters so as to generate reflected sounds. The output signals of the sound image localization controlling circuit and sound field controlling circuit are fed to adders each adding together the signals of same channel. The resultant added signals are then sent to the speakers in a listening room for audible reproduction.
