Abstract
An audio signal processing system can be configured to provide virtualized audio information in a three-dimensional soundfield using at least a pair of loudspeakers or headphones. The system can include an audio input configured to receive audio program information that includes at least N discrete audio signals, a first virtualization processor circuit configured to generate intermediate virtualized audio information by filtering M of the N audio signals, and a second virtualization processor circuit configured to generate further virtualized audio information by differently filtering K of the N audio signals, wherein K, M, and N are integers. The system can include an audio signal combination circuit to combine the intermediate virtualized audio information with at least one of the N audio signals, other than the M audio signals, to render fewer than N audio signals for transmission to a second virtualization processor circuit.
