Abstract
Enhanced pyschoacoustic imagery is achieved in an audio signal processing circuit for processing plural channels of related audio signals. Asymmetric bi-directional audio signal cross-feed is established between first and second audio signal processing channels, for example. The cross-fed signal components are combined in an out-of-phase relationship with respect to related audio signals already passing through a given channel. The asymmetry is designed so as to complement the asymmetry which is believed to be present in a listener's brain processing of perceived acoustic signals due to the naturally occurring left or right half brain dominance of the listener. In other embodiments both symmetric and asymmetric, cross-feeding is limited to signal components below a predetermined frequency.
