Abstract
This sound system includes a plurality of sound devices connected via a network, each sound device including: an audio acquirer; a sound source localizer that performs sound source localization; a sound source information exchanger that acquires sound source information relating to the audio acquired by another device; a sound source determiner that determines, when a sound source in the sound source information coincides with the sound source specified by the sound source localizer, whether or not a second sound pressure level of the sound source in the sound source information is higher than a first sound pressure level of the sound source specified by the sound source localizer; and a filter processor that performs filter processing of the audio of the sound source specified by the sound source localizer when the second sound pressure level is higher than the first sound pressure level.
