An audio system attachable to a computer includes a sound reproduction device for producing audible sound from audio signals. The sound reproduction device includes a radio tuner and a powered speaker. The audio system further includes a connector for connecting the sound reproduction device with a computer. The computer provides audio signals from a plurality of sources, the sources including a computer CD player, digitally encoded computer files stored on the computer, and a computer network connected to the computer. The sound reproduction device further includes control buttons for controlling at least one of the computer CD player, the digitally encoded computer files and the computer network.

Interactive sound reproducing

A method of disassembling a pair of input signals L(t) and R(t) to form subband representations of N output channel signals o(t), o(t), . . . , o(t), wherein t is time. The method includes the steps of generating a subband representation of the signal L(t) containing a plurality of subband components L(t) where k is an integer ranging from 1 to M; generating a subband representation of the signal R(t) containing a plurality of subband components R(t); and constructing the subband representation for each of the plurality of output channel signals, each of those subband representations containing a plurality of subband components o(t), wherein o(t) represents the ksubband of the joutput channel signal and is constructed by combining components of the input signals L(t) and R(t) according to an output construction rule: o(t)=f(L(t),R(t)) for k=1, 2, . . . , M and j=1, 2, . . . , N.
