Claim Text:
1. A sound system processor configured to enhance the quality of sound produced by reducing the perception of point-source sound generation, the sound system processor configured to process a left (L) channel signal and a right (R) channel signal generated by an audio source to generate output, the sound system processor comprising: a mid-side processor configured to convert the left and right channel signals into three output signals, one output signal comprising an L+R output signal, another output signal comprising an L−R output signal, and yet another output signal comprising an R−L output signal, the sound system configured to split the L+R output signal into a first split L+R output signal and a second split L+R output signal, the first split L+R output signal being deliverable to a first speaker driver when generated; a low pass filter configured to take the second split L+R output signal from the mid-side processor and remove frequencies of about 100-800 Hz and greater from the second split L+R output signal to generate a low pass L+R output signal; the sound system configured to split the low pass L+R output signal into a first split low pass L+R output signal and a second split low pass L+R output signal; a first high pass filter configured to take the L−R output signal from the mid-side processor and remove frequencies less than 100-800 Hz to generate a high pass L−R output signal; a second high pass filter configured to take the R−L output signal from the mid-side processor and remove frequencies less than 100-800 Hz to generate a high pass R−L output signal; a first sum processor configured to take the first split low pass L+R output signal and the high pass L−R output signal from the first high pass filter to generate a composite left channel output signal deliverable to a second speaker driver when generated; a second sum processor configured to take the second split low pass L+R output signal from the low pass filter and the high pass R−L output signal from the second high pass filter to generate a composite right channel output signal deliverable to a third speaker driver when generated.
