  • Publication number: 20110007904
    Abstract: A corrective measurement part of a processing control part 119A measures an aspect of specific sound field correction processing performed on an acoustic signal received from a specific external device. Based on this measurement result, settings for cancellation of specific sound field correction processing performed on that acoustic signal are made for a correction cancellation part 310. Furthermore, an aspect of appropriate sound field processing corresponding to the actual sound field space is acquired by an appropriate correction acquisition part of the processing control part 119A. Based on the result acquired in this manner, settings for performing appropriate sound field correction processing upon a signal SND are made for a correction processing part 330. Thus, whichever one of acoustic signals received by a reception processing part 111 is selected, an output acoustic signal can be supplied to speaker units in after appropriate sound field correction processing.

  • Patent number: 7315625
    Abstract: This invention is a sound apparatus having a plurality of different kinds of speakers and that independently performs correction of the sound signal for each speaker to obtain optimum sound and sound field. This sound apparatus has an output device that receives audio signals and outputs sound, and comprises: a correction device for correcting the audio signals that are input to each of the output devices; and a correction-characteristic-setting device which sets correction characteristic for each of the output devices; and where the correction device correct the audio signals based on the set correction characteristic.
