Abstract
An audio enhancement system and method for use in a surround sound environment creates a more diffuse and continuous sound field from a multi-channel, multi-speaker reproduction environment. Multiple audio source signals generated from an audio recording, which are intended for speakers placed in front of and behind a listener, are isolated into pairs and processed to create corresponding pairs of component audio signals. Each pair of component audio signals is generated, at least in part, from the information present in both corresponding audio source signals. The individual component audio signals are then selectively combined to form enhanced output signals so that each enhanced output signal is modified as function of a plurality of audio source signals.
