PURPOSE:To realize a sense of surrounding as if to surround a listener by generating a reflecting sound from a main signal and a surround signal separately based on a reflection sound parameter of a sound field and outputting them through synthesis. CONSTITUTION:A main signal M and a surround signal S are generated from two left/right channel signals L,R inputted from input terminals 12,14. Then a main sound field signal generating means 32 based on a reflection sound parameter P1 gives a 1st sound field to the main signal M and a surround sound field signal generating means 54 base on a reflection parameter P2 gives a 2nd sound field to the surround signal S and a main sound field signal Mo and a surround sound field signal So comprising the collection of the relection sound signals in each direction in each sound field are generated and the signals of channels corresponding to each other are synthesized and outputted as a sound field signal. Thus, a sense of surrounding as if to surround a listener 38 is obtained.

PURPOSE:To reproduce directivity in respect of a backward sound as well and to improve the attendance feeling and in addition, to simplify a constitution, by controlling the respective outputs of a rear left and a rear right speakers according to the height of the level of two-channel stereoscopic input signals. CONSTITUTION:Level control means 5L, 5R which control respectively the level quantity of signals to be supplied to respective speakers are provided between a delay circuit 3 and the rear left and the rear right channel speakers LR, RR, and the level quantity of them is controlled by the output signal of a level detection circuit 7. The detection circuit 7 inputs respectively the two- channel stereoscopic input signals L, R from terminals 1L, 1R, and outputs respectively the signals of L/R proportion and R/L proportion. The difference signal L-R, and further, the signal through the delay circuit 3 are inputted respectively to voltage control amplifiers 51L, 51R, and a four-channel stereoscopic rear left and rear right output signals are controlled according to the signals from the detection circuit 7.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To prevent the signal clip due to overflow by providing an electronic volume before and after a digital signal processing section and setting the volume of the post-stage to make through in setting the overall gain to be -g (a gain not overflowed)) or over and setting the volume of the pre-stage to make through when the overall gain is set below the gain -g. CONSTITUTION:In the case of the overall gain of 0--gdB, the volumes 20, 38 and 24, 36 are selected to make through and the volume 30 is controlled. The clipping of the signal waveform due to overflow of a digital signal processing section 14 is prevented against the input of the range from a level lower than the reference level by -gdB to the reference level to prevent the decrease in the permissible input. In the case of the overall gain of -g--infinity dB, the volumes 20, 38 are set to make through and the volume 30 is set respectively to -gdB to control the volumes 24, 36. Since a head margin of -gdB is formed to the digital signal processing section 32, the signal is inputted up to the reference level without being clipped and the decrease in the permissible input is prevented.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To instantaneously reproduce a control state dealing with multidimension and to faithfully reproduce a sound field through a simple operation by combining both a parameter setting a sound field characteristic added to a source reproduction sound and a parameter controlling the frequency characteristic of the sound so as to store them and simultaneously calling them. A CONSTITUTION:An acoustic signal is inputted to a digital equalizer 1. It can freely set parameters for central frequency, Q, level and cut-off frequency. The output of the equalizer 1 is inputted to a sound field processor 2. It convolutionally operates reflected sound data stored in a reflected sound pattern memory 3 and an input signal, and generates a sound field effect signal. A memory 5 combines and stores the parameter that the equalizer 1 sets and the parameter of another reflected sound data, which is obtained by modifying the parameter of the reflection sound data. According to instructions from a CPU, those parameters are simultaneously called, and they control the equalizer 1 and the processor 2. Thus the control state handling multidimension such as time, space and frequency characteristics can be reproduced instantaneously, and a sound field can be faithfully reproduced through the simple operation.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To make it unnecessary to provide a sound volume adjusting means on every input source, by providing an input level storage means for storing an input level adjustment quantity set value of every input source, a level control means, and a means for reading out the corresponding input level adjustment quantity set value from the level storage means in accordance with a selection of the input source, and controlling the level control means. CONSTITUTION:A CPU 6 selects and outputs the corresponding source signal from an input selector 5, based on a source selection data by a source selection key. Subsequently, the CPU 6 reads out a data related to a source selected from in input level adjustment quantity set values of each input source, which have been stored in a preset level memory 9. By operating this value and a manipulated variable of a main volume, etc., a level adjustment quantity is derived, and it is inputted as a command value to a gain control means 13. The gain control means 13 adjusts the gain of level control means 7, 8 so that it becomes an output level corresponding to this command value. In this way, even if the input source is switched, an equal output level is always obtained, and it becomes unnecessary to adjust a master volume.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce intrinsic noise that occurs at switching with a voice signal switching means, relating to a voice reproduction system which has a configuration for reproduction by an electric acoustic converter through a low-cut filter that cuts off lower band of voice signal frequencies after going through the voice signal switching means. SOLUTION: A variable low-cut filter 22 is arranged on a front side of a voice signal switching means 12. When no voice signal switching is performed, the cut off frequency of the variable low-cut filter 22 is set to be a low value so that the entire band of voice signal frequencies output from a voice source 10 is allowed to pass. In the case where the voice signal switching is performed, the cut off frequency of the variable low-cut filter 22 is temporarily changed to be a higher value before switching, and the value is restored to a lower value after switching.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an audio signal processing apparatus including a DRC (Dynamic Range Compression) achieving also trouble countermeasures in large volume while preventing atmospheres of various contents from being lost and to provide a speaker system and a television. SOLUTION: In the television, a first level D1 and a second level D2 for regulating a first section, a second section and a third section in input/output characteristics set in a compression part are set to fixed values independently of the setting of a volume value Vol, compression ratios of the first section and the second section occupying most of an audio part of a movie are made different from each other independently of the setting of the volume value Vol, so that a range of the third section in which the compression ratio is changed according to the volume value Vol can be reduced. Thereby, an audio-visual environment having a higher flexibility corresponding to a reproducing condition can be constructed without remarkably losing movie producer's intentions, even when the television is viewed at any volume value Vol. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an acoustic processing device and an acoustic processing method, capable of generating an initial reflected sound which can enhance a sound image by giving a sound source reinforcing effect, while maintaining stereophonic sensation. SOLUTION: The acoustic processing device 1, to which audio signals that are stereo signals are input, can generate a spatial reflected sound from an audio signal obtained by combining the audio signals of a right channel and of a left channel as a monophonic signal, and also generate an initial reflected sound from an audio signal that is a stereo signal. By generating the initial reflected sound from the stereophonic audio signal, a sound source reinforcing effect can be given, while maintaining a stereophonic feeling; and consequently, a sound that is richer and mellower than that generated from an audio signal that is a monophonic signal can be obtained.
