- This implementation in order to correct such a difference in arrival time at the viewing position between the audio signal of the main channel and the audio signal of the surround channel, a delay time added to the audio signal of the main channel is controlled.
- the acoustic signal generator 1 generates a measurement audio signal S 0 in response to the trigger signal output from the characteristic analyzer 6 b and supplies it to the characteristic detector 2.
- the measurement audio signal S0 is supplied to the directional speaker device 3 via the characteristic correction device 2, and is radiated as a sound S1 toward the wall or the acoustic reflector 4, and the sound S2 reflected there is reflected.
- the characteristic analyzer 6b measures the arrival time until the sound S2 is detected by the microphone phone 5 after the trigger signal is issued.
- the acoustic signal generator 1 outputs the measurement audio signal S0 to the delay corrector 10 according to the trigger signal output from the characteristic analyzer 6b.
- the delay time of the delay correction device 10 is set to the minimum value.
- the measurement audio signal S 0 is supplied to the main speaker device 8 via the delay correction device 10, and the audio S 3 is emitted toward the microphone 5.
- the characteristic analyzer 6b measures the arrival time from when the trigger signal is issued to when the sound S3 is detected by the microphone 5.
- the characteristic analyzer 6b detects the difference between the arrival time of the voice S2 and the arrival time of the voice S3 as an absolute delay time.
- an impulse signal is simultaneously supplied from the acoustic signal generator 1 to the characteristic correction device 2 and the delay correction device 10, and the time difference between the sounds S 2 and S 3 radiated based on the impulse signal reaching the microphone 5.
- the acoustic signal generator 1 generates a measurement audio signal S 0 in response to a trigger signal output from the characteristic analyzer 6b, and supplies it to the characteristic corrector 2 and the delay corrector 10 at the same time.
- the characteristic analyzer 6b detects a correlation between a plurality of sounds collected by the microphone 5, and calculates a relative delay time. At this time, the impulse signal Signal or random noise can be used.
- the correction characteristic control device 7b determines the arrival time of the listening position of the sound radiated from the main speaker device 8, and the directivity.
- the delay amount of the delay correction device 10 is set so that the arrival time of the sound radiated from the speaker device 3 and reflected by the wall surface or the acoustic reflection plate 4 reaches the viewing position. It is preferable that the delay correction device 10 is constituted by a digital memory so that the delay time can be easily and finely adjusted.
- the delay detection device 10 by delaying the audio signal of the main channel by the delay detection device 10, the arrival time of the sound radiated from the main speaker device 8 and directly reaching the viewing position, After being radiated from the loudspeaker device 3 and reflected by the wall surface or the acoustic reflector 4, the arrival time of the sound reaching the viewing position can be matched.
- the function of the delay correction device 10 can be shared by the delay circuit in the array speaker.
- at least a part of the characteristic analyzers 6 and 6b and the correction characteristic control devices 7, 7a and 7b used in the first to sixth embodiments can be realized by a microcomputer.
- the present invention can be applied to a surround system that creates a virtual speaker by reflecting sound radiated from a directional speaker on a wall surface or an acoustic reflector.
