Abstract
A speaker distortion correction device includes an amplifier configured to drive a speaker; and a distortion corrector. An input signal is input to the distortion corrector, and an output of the distortion corrector is input to the amplifier. The distortion corrector includes a nonlinear distortion controller configured to generate a corrected signal obtained by performing a nonlinear distortion correction process on the input signal so that nonlinear distortion of the speaker is suppressed when the corrected signal is input to the amplifier; a maximum value calculating section configured to calculate a maximum output value of the amplifier to be obtained when the corrected signal is input to the amplifier, based on at least the input signal; and a selector configured to select the corrected signal when the maximum output value does not exceed a predetermined threshold and select the input signal when the maximum output value exceeds the predetermined threshold.
