Abstract

There is provided a signal processing device including a first correction processing section that performs first correction on a predetermined signal, an adaptive processing section that performs predetermined adaptive processing on the signal that has been subjected to the first correction, and a second correction processing section that performs second correction, which is reverse correction of the first correction, on the signal that has been subjected to the adaptive processing, in accordance with the amount of delay in the adaptive processing.
