Abstract
The present technology relates to a speaker array designed to be capable of achieving sufficiently high reproducibility at low cost, and a signal processing apparatus. The speaker array is formed with a plurality of higher order speakers and a plurality of general speakers. The type, the number, or the installation positions of the higher order speakers are determined in accordance with wavefront reproducibility in a second region located on the outer side of a first region that can be controlled by the general speakers. The present technology can be applied to a speaker array and a sound field forming apparatus.
