PURPOSE: A front wave field synthesis (WFS) system and a method for providing surround sound using a 7.1 channel codec are provided to install fewer loud speakers and offer a wave field effect. CONSTITUTION: A front WFS system includes a front WFS signal encoding device (110). The front WFS signal encoding device includes a content receiving unit (111) and an encoding unit (112). The content receiving unit receives WFS content including first channels corresponding to a front array speaker and second channels corresponding to a surround speaker. The encoding unit encodes the first channel and the second channel by a multi-channel encoder corresponding to the number of channels included in the WFS content. The encoding unit performs encoding by inputting the first channel and the second channel to the multi-channel encoder according to the condition for identifying the first and second channels.

PURPOSE: A method and apparatus for reproducing a 3 dimensional sound field are provided to improve robustness of the apparatus by evenly distributing energy of source strength. CONSTITUTION: A control region is determined based on a wavelength of an excitation frequency(101). One or more candidate control points are arranged on the control region based on a loud speaker array(102).

PURPOSE: A device for restoring multichannel audio signal using an HE-AAC(High-Efficiency Advanced Audio Coding) decoder and an MPEG surround decoder and a method thereof are provided to add a delay stage when connecting a downmix signal of the HE-AAC decoder to a QMF(Quadrature Mirror Filter) signal of the real number domain, a QMF signal of the complex number domain, and a time domain signal. CONSTITUTION: When a downmix signal of a time domain encoded by HE-AAC is combined with an MPEG surround low power decoder, a delay stage(501) applies delay to extracted spatial parameters. The delay is identical to the sum of the delay of HE-AAC QMF synthetic filter process, real QMF(502) and Nyquist analysis filter(504) process of the MPEG surround low power decoder, and a real to complex converter(503).
