Abstract: Sound processing systems have been developed that create a surround effect without quality degradation experienced by known sound processing systems in non-optimum listening environments. The sound processing systems may include matrix decoding systems that manipulate input signals prior to converting them into a number of output signals so that the output signals are a function of a greater number of input signals. The matrix decoding systems may create input signal pairs based on the input signals. The input signal pairs may be based on various combinations of the input signals. The output signals may be based on the input signal pairs. The matrix decoding systems may also produce additional signals. The matrix decoding systems may also apply delay to the output signals. The matrix decoding systems may also include one or more filters to attenuate frequencies in certain output signals. The matrix decoding systems may be implemented in vehicular sound systems.
