SOUND PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD
First Claim
1. A sound processing apparatus for adjusting a sound signal to be output based on acoustic characteristics of a listening room, the apparatus comprising:
- a first acquisition unit configured to emit a test signal for measuring a standing wave state in the listening room from a loudspeaker, and acquire the test signal that has been emitted using a microphone;
a determination unit configured to determine a peak position or a dip position due to a standing wave based on frequency characteristics of the signal acquired by the first acquisition unit;
a second acquisition unit configured to emit a burst signal corresponding to a frequency of the peak position or the dip position from the loudspeaker in the listening room, and acquire the burst signal that has been emitted using the microphone;
a calculation unit configured to calculate an increment Δ
P of the signal acquired by the second acquisition unit, the Δ
P indicating an amount of increase of a peak in a trailing edge portion corresponding to an end position of the burst signal relative to a peak in a portion corresponding to a stationary portion of the burst signal; and
a filter unit configured to attenuate a frequency component of the peak position or the dip position of the sound signal to be output by an attenuation depending on the Δ
P.

Abstract
A sound processing apparatus according to the present invention acquires a test signal for measuring a standing wave state emitted in a listening room, and determines a peak position or a dip position due to a standing wave based on frequency characteristics of the test signal. Next, the sound processing apparatus emits a burst signal corresponding to the frequency of the peak position or the dip position, and acquires this signal. The sound processing apparatus calculates an increment ΔP of the acquired signal, which indicates an amount of increase of a peak in the trailing edge portion corresponding to the end position of the burst signal relative to a peak in the portion corresponding to the stationary portion of the burst signal, and attenuates the frequency of the above peak position or dip position of a sound signal to be output by an attenuation depending on ΔP.
