SOUND FIELD CONTROL APPARATUS, SIGNAL PROCESSING APPARATUS, SOUND FIELD CONTROL PROGRAM, AND SIGNAL PROCESSING PROGRAM

A sound field control apparatus which is capable of adjusting the number of outputs as required. The sound field control apparatus is comprised of a master device, and a plurality of salve devices serially connected in cascade to the master device. In the master device, a picked-up sound signal input section inputs picked-up sound signals from a plurality of microphones. A signal processing section generates reflected sound signals from the input picked-up sound signals. A cascade output terminal outputs the reflected sound signals. In each of the slave devices, a cascade input terminal inputs the generated reflected sound signal, a plurality of signal processing sections correspond to a plurality of speakers and each adjust sound characteristics of the input reflected sound signals and generate and output signals to the corresponding speakers. A cascade output terminal directly outputs the input reflected sound signals. A desired number of slave devices are serially connected in cascade to the master device, and the speakers correspond in number to a number of the slave devices.
