Abstract
The present technology relates to an acoustic signal processing apparatus, an acoustic signal processing method, and a program for expanding a range of listening positions in which an effect of a transaural reproduction system can be obtained. First and second output signals for localizing a sound image in front of or behind and on the left of a first position located on the left of a listening position are output from first and second speakers, respectively. Third and fourth output signals for localizing a sound image in front of or behind and on the right of a second position located on the right of the listening position are output from third and fourth speakers, respectively. The first speaker is disposed in a first direction in front of or behind the listening position and on the left of the listening position. The second speaker is disposed in the first direction and on the right of the listening position. The third speaker is disposed in the first direction and on the left of the listening position and on the right of the first speaker. The fourth speaker is disposed in the first direction of the listening position and on the right of the second speaker. The present technology can be applied, for example, to an acoustic processing system.
