Abstract:
A signal processing apparatus that generates a reproducing signal from an input audio signal includes an information acquisition unit that acquires information about an arrangement of a plurality of speakers used for reproduction of a sound that is based on the reproducing signal, a specifying unit that specifies a target range for localization of a sound corresponding to the input audio signal, a setting unit that sets a plurality of virtual sound sources used for localization of a sound based on the specified target range based on the acquired information about the arrangement of the plurality of speakers, and a generation unit that generates the reproducing signal by processing the input audio signal based on setting of the plurality of virtual sound sources.

Claim (Index 13):
The signal processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising a determination unit configured to determine whether to set the plurality of virtual sound sources by the setting unit,\n wherein, if it is determined not to set the plurality of virtual sound sources, the generation unit generates the reproducing signal having a plurality of channels corresponding to the plurality of speakers by processing the input audio signal using a parameter determined based on a position or direction of a center of the specified target range and the arrangement of the plurality of speakers indicated by the acquired information.
