Abstract

The present invention provides an audio apparatus including: a decoding device configured to decode results of channel-by-channel reproduction of a multichannel sound source made up of at least a left channel, a right channel, and a center channel, and to down-mix the decoded results of channel-by-channel reproduction in accordance with the number of speakers configured in a speaker system without a center speaker corresponding to the center channel; an audio processing device configured to perform predetermined audio processing on the decoded results having undergone the down-mixing by the decoding device, and to get the processed results output from the speaker system; and a control device configured to control the audio processing device.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an audio device and an audio processing method. More specifically, the present invention relates to an audio device and an audio processing method for allowing, for example, a vehicle-mounted audio device to reproduce and output a multi-channel (for example, 5.1-channel) audio signal. Background technique [0002] Generally, when AV (audio-visual) content such as a movie including multi-channel (for example, 5.1-channel) audio content is reproduced through a 5.1-channel speaker system, it may be due to the condition of the audio device in use, the surrounding environmental state, or Recording level differences prevents sound from a particular channel from being heard correctly. [0003] In this case, only the speaker volume for that channel needs to be turned up, since the number of channels found in the audio content corresponds one-to-one to the number of speakers configured in the speaker system in use. [0004] Ho...
