Abstract
In an audio signal processing device, an acquisition unit acquires an audio signal. A signal processing unit applies predetermined signal processing to the audio signal acquired by the acquisition unit when the signal processing unit is supplied with power, and outputs the audio signal. A communication unit establishes wireless communication with a communication device for connection to the communication device. A communication controller controls the communication unit to commence the connection to the communication device by the wireless communication when a predetermined connection condition is satisfied, and to sever the connection to the communication device when a predetermined disconnection condition is satisfied. A power control unit starts supply of power to the signal processing unit when the connection to the communication device is commenced, and stops the supply of power to the signal processing unit when the connection to the communication device is severed.
