Abstract

A distribution system includes a device control circuit that receives a first sound signal and a second sound signal that are related to a performance sound to be distributed. The device control circuit also receives meta-data indicating a type of the first sound signal and a type of the second sound signal. The device control circuit also receives sound environment data indicating a sound characteristic of a sound appliance. Based on a combination of the type of the first sound signal and the sound characteristic or a combination of the type of the second sound signal and the sound characteristic, the device control circuit controls the first sound signal or the second sound signal to be output to the sound appliance.

The solid pattern of the output ground extends into all regions of the input amplifying circuit, the modulation circuit, the output amplifying circuit and the output filter. The first feedback circuit executes a feedback where a voltage at a first connecting point is negatively fed back to an inverting input of the input amplifying circuit. The second feedback circuit executes a feedback where a voltage at a second connecting point is negatively fed back to a non-inverting input of the input amplifying circuit.

Abstract

A sound signal processing device supplies an output sound signal to an amplification device configured to supply a first sound signal to a high-frequency speaker and a low-frequency speaker. The sound signal processing device includes a high-pass filter, an amplitude limitation circuit, a low-pass filter, and a synthesis circuit. The high-pass filter removes a low-frequency component from an input sound signal to generate a high-frequency sound signal. The amplitude limitation circuit limits an amplitude of the input sound signal at or below a reference value to generate a second sound signal. The reference value corresponds to a clipping voltage of the amplification device. The low-pass filter removes a high-frequency component from the second sound signal to generate a low-frequency sound signal. The synthesis circuit synthesizes the high-frequency sound signal and the low-frequency sound signal to generate the output sound signal.
