Abstract

An acoustic playback system including a digital filter; and a plurality of digital modulators each of which output a digital signal to one of a plurality of speakers configured with speakers driven by digital signals having different play back bandwidths; wherein the digital filter converts a digital audio signal which is input into a plurality of digital audio signals of a plurality of frequency bandwidths corresponding to play back bandwidths of the plurality of speakers, and outputs each of the digital audio signals of the plurality of frequency bandwidths to one of the plurality of digital modulators; each of the plurality of digital modulators outputs the modulated digital signal to the speaker of a play back bandwidth corresponding to a frequency bandwidth of the digital audio signal which is input by performing miss match shaping after noise shaping to a digital audio signal which is input; and each number of bits of a digital signal which is output by each of the digital modulators is different is provided.

Claims (16)

1. An acoustic playback system comprising:

a digital filter; and

a plurality of digital modulators each of which outputs a modulated digital signal to one of a plurality of speakers having different play back frequency bandwidths;

wherein

the digital filter converts a digital audio signal which is input to a plurality of digital audio signals of a plurality of frequency bandwidths corresponding to play back frequency bandwidths of the plurality of speakers, and outputs each of the digital audio signals of the plurality of frequency bandwidths to one of the plurality of digital modulators;

each of the plurality of digital modulators outputs a modulated digital signal to the speaker of a play back frequency bandwidth corresponding to a frequency bandwidth of the digital audio signal which is input by performing miss match shaping after noise shaping to a digital audio signal which is input;

each digital modulator outputs a modulated digital signal having a different number of bits; and

the higher the play back frequency bandwidth of a speaker to which a digital modulator of the plurality of digital modulators outputs the modulated digital signal, the fewer the number of bits included in the modulated digital signal that is output by the digital modulator to the speaker.

2. An acoustic playback system comprising:

a plurality of digital signal processing circuits each of which is supplied as an input with a digital audio signal and outputs a digital signal to one of a plurality of speakers; and

a controller which controls parameters of each of the plurality of digital signal processing circuits, wherein

each of the plurality of digital signal processing circuits filters a digital signal of a certain frequency bandwidth from the digital audio signal which is input and performs noise shaping and miss match shaping,

the controller controls the parameters of one or more of a frequency bandwidth which is filtered by the plurality of digital signal processing circuits, a noise shaping oversampling rate, and a degree of miss match shaping,

a number of bits of each digital signal that is output by each of the digital signal processing circuits is different, and

the higher the play back frequency bandwidth of a speaker to which a digital processing circuit of the plurality of digital signal processing circuits outputs the digital signal, the fewer the number of bits included in the digital signal that is output by the digital signal processing circuit to the speaker.

3. The acoustic playback system according to claim 2 , wherein the controller changes the parameters according to a required audio quality and/or an amplitude of the digital audio signal which is input to the plurality of digital signal processing circuits.
