Abstract
An apparatus and method for generating a panoramic sound are provided. The panoramic sound generation apparatus may include a panning coefficient calculation unit to calculate a panning coefficient that represents directivity of a sound source using an input signal, a masker determination unit to determine a direction masker that extracts a sound source of a desired direction based on the panning coefficient, and a channel separation unit to separate to be used as an output signal, output to a sound output device, using the direction masker.
