A sound signal processor and a control method therefor that enable appropriate processing to be applied to each sound signal and the sound signals to be outputted to an appropriate output destination, while avoiding equipment connection complexity. A first processing unit performs first processing on a first sound signal to generate a second sound signal, and outputs the second sound signal to a mix bus, a second processing unit performs second processing on a third sound signal to generate a fourth sound signal, and outputs the fourth sound signal to the mix bus and a first output destination, and the mix bus mixes the second sound signal with the fourth sound signal to generate a fifth sound signal, and outputs the fifth sound signal to a second output destination.

Sound signal processor and control method therefor

A speaker position determination system includes a server, wherein the server includes: a processor configured to: acquire a first reproduction sound output from a first speaker and a second reproduction sound output from a second speaker at the same timing as the first reproduction sound, which are picked up by a sound pickup device arranged at a position of a speaker to be determined; calculate a first time lag indicating a time lag from an output timing of the first reproduction sound until a pickup timing of the first reproduction sound and a second time lag indicating a time lag from an output timing of the second reproduction sound until a pickup timing of the second reproduction sound; and determine the position of the speaker based on the first time lag and the second time lag.

Speaker position determination method, speaker position determination system, and audio apparatus

A communication device includes: a first processing circuit including an acquisition unit that acquires first information via a first network from a first device connected to the first network, the first information being related to the first device; and a storage that stores device information including the acquired first information, the device information being readable from the storage via a second network by a second device connected to the second network, the second network being a network external to the first network.

Communication device, communication system, communication method, and program

A plurality of reproduction sections are set. With regard to the reproduction section provided with the first reproduction device group that includes at least one reproduction device connected via a network with a storage that stores audio data, the audio data is transmitted via the network to each reproduction device. With regard to the reproduction section provided with the second reproduction device group includes a plurality of reproduction devices that are connected to each other using at least one audio cable and that include at least one reproduction device connected via the network with the storage, the audio data is transmitted via the network to at least one reproduction device connected via the network with the storage, and the at least one reproduction device is caused to transmit the received audio data via the at least one audio cable to at least one other reproduction device.

System, control method, and control terminal

An acoustic device includes: at least one processor, and at least one memory device that stores a plurality of instructions, which when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to operate to: acquire data on a mixed sound of a reproduction sound of a first sound data output from a first speaker and a reproduction sound of a second sound data output from a second speaker, the mixed sound being picked up by a sound pickup device directed toward the first speaker, calculate a first similarity degree indicating similarity between the data on the mixed sound and the first sound data and a second similarity degree indicating similarity between the data on the mixed sound and the second sound data, and determine connection states of the first speaker and the second speaker based on the first similarity degree and the second similarity degree.

Connection state determination system for speakers, acoustic device, and connection state determination method for speakers

A connection confirmation system includes a connection detection apparatus and an information processing apparatus communicable with each other. The connection detection apparatus acquires a setting relating to a connection mode of a device to be connected to a sound processing apparatus, detects a connection mode of a device actually connected to the sound processing apparatus, and determines a difference between the detected actual connection mode and the connection mode indicated by the acquired setting.

Connection confirmation system, connection detection apparatus, and connection confirmation method

A memory portion stores automated reproducing setting data that associates content input sources with necessariness/unnecessariness of automated reproduction of content. A control portion, when an operation-display portion or a remote control reception portion accepts selection of a content input source, judges whether or not automated reproduction is necessary on content that is inputted from the currently selected input source, based on the automated reproducing setting data. Also, the control portion starts outputting, at an audio signal output portion and a video signal output portion, a reproducing signal on the content that is inputted from the currently selected input source, when judging that automated reproduction of the content is necessary.

Content reproducing apparatus and content reproducing method

A signal processing device includes a selector configured to select one of a plurality of methods, in accordance with which a signal generation process is performed for generating a transfer signal in which additional information is added to an audio signal; a signal processor configured to execute the signal generation process of adding the additional information to the audio signal in accordance with the method selected by the selector; and a transferrer configured to transfer to a reproduction device the transfer signal generated by the signal processor.

Signal processing device, audio signal transfer method, and signal processing system

A user interface device includes: a display unit that displays a user interface screen associated with a first coordinate axis, the first coordinate axis corresponding to a first attribute of a sound field and being allocated with a plurality of parameters related to the first attribute; a first specification unit that specifies a coordinate value of the first coordinate axis corresponding to a position in the user interface screen specified by a user; and a second specification unit that specifies a value of each of the plurality of parameters, based on the specified coordinate value.
