Abstract
Input digital sound signals are subjected to filtering for convolution of respective impulse responses, and the resulting signals are supplied to time delay setting circuits. In each of the time delay setting circuits, output signals from two adjacent stages of the time delay setting circuits, which correspond to a direction closest to a detected facing direction of a listener, are taken out as two pairs of signals. In crossfade processing circuits, the signals in each pair are added at a proportion depending on the detected facing direction of the listener. Output signals of the crossfade processing circuits are taken out through correction filters for compensating frequency characteristic changes in a high frequency range. As a result, when listening to sound with headphones and localizing a sound image at an arbitrary fixed position outside the listener's head, noises generated upon a change in the facing direction of the listener are reduced.
