  • Patent number: 8447041
    Abstract: An electricity-to-sound converter reproduces a sound according to a first audio signal. A sound collector outputs a second audio signal. A first frequency band limit filter filters the second audio signal. A sound leakage evaluating block evaluates a leakage of a sound reproduced by the electricity-to-sound converter on the basis of the first audio signal and the filtered second audio signal. A multiplier multiples the first audio signal by a coefficient approximating a transmission characteristic between the electricity-to-sound converter and the sound collector when the sound reproduced by the electricity-to-sound converter leaks outside a housing to be picked up by the sound collector. A second frequency band limit filter filters the multiplied first audio signal and supplies the filtered first audio signal to the sound leakage evaluating block. The first frequency band limit filter and the second frequency band limit filter have passing bands of 1 kHz to 3 kHz.
