Abstract: A signal processor and a signal processing method thereof. The signal processor obtain a first audio signal of a first channel, obtains a second audio signal of a second channel. The signal processor performs a first signal processing on the input first audio signal. The signal processor, when it does not obtain the second audio signal, performs a second signal processing on the input first audio signal having undergone the first signal processing and output a further processed first audio signal.

Abstract: A method of processing an audio signal includes inputting an audio signal, obtaining position information of a sound source of the audio signal, receiving an input of movement information, moving a position of the sound source around a predetermined axis, based on the movement information, changing a sound image localization position of the sound source, and performing localization processing on the audio signal so as to localize a sound image of the sound source at a changed sound image localization position.
