Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the expanding feelings of a sound field suitable to a sound source by varying either one of sound signal levels of a mixed sound signal and a delay mixed sound signal. CONSTITUTION:A difference sound signal (L-R) obtained by a subtractor circuit 7 and the addition signal of said difference sound signals, which is available from a delay circuit 8, are supplied to a backward left speaker 11, while a subtraction signal is supplied to a backward right speaker 12. Accordingly, when a mobile contact 19a is positioned at one fixed contact 19b, the sound signal, where a delay difference sound signal DELTAt(L-R) is more emphasized than the difference sound signal (L-R), is supplied to the backward speakers 11 and 12, and therefore the expansion of the sound supplied from the backward speakers 11 and 12 is narrowed, thereby obtaining the expanding feeling of the sound field suitable to a movie reproduction. Thus the expanding feeling of the sound field can be reduced and increased in the movie reproduction and music reproduction, respectively.

However, in such a conventional pseudo-stereo system, the audio signals supplied to the rear left and right speakers (11) and (12), the so-called surround signals, are only delay difference audio signals; (11) and (1
Since the sound supplied from 2) has no spread at all, it is fine if it is played in a place such as a movie theater, but it is inconvenient that it is insufficient when played in a general home.

Furthermore, in movie playback, front localization is particularly important, so the audio signal supplied to the rear speakers is time-delayed so that it always comes out later than the front audio signal, and the Haas effect is used to direct the sound to the front. However, in the case of music playback, the reverberation components are often accompanied by a time delay, so when extracting the rear speaker audio signal from the left audio signal component, there is a considerable delay. There's no need.

According to the present invention, one rear speaker (11) is supplied with the sum signal of the mixed audio signal and the delayed mixed audio signal, and the other rear speaker (12) is supplied with the delayed mixed audio signal and the mixed audio signal. Since a subtraction signal from the signal is supplied, if the audio signal level of either the mixed audio signal or the delayed mixed audio signal is varied, and the mixed audio signal level is made higher than the delayed mixed audio signal level, for example, the rear left and Since the mixed audio signal is more emphasized than the delayed mixed audio signal and is supplied from the right speakers (11) and (12), the sound field becomes more spacious, and a sound field that is optimal for music reproduction is obtained. Conversely, if the mixed audio signal level is lower than the delayed mixed audio signal level, the delayed mixed audio signal is emphasized and supplied from the rear left and right speakers (11) and (12) than the mixed audio signal. This reduces the sense of spaciousness in the sound field and provides a sense of widening of the sound field that is optimal for movie playback.In this way, a sense of widening of the sound field suitable for the sound source can be obtained.
